Why do we wrap up our self-worth in jobs and money? Is it ok to quit therapy? Did Meg really kill off half her family in college?

This week’s special guest Skye Montante shares their journey of “coming out”, TWICE!

This week “CHRONIC” puts the ‘ick’ in sick. JK! Today’s episode isn’t about anything chronic! Meg and Jamie take a break from talking strictly about chronic issues and turn up the lol’s in this on-brand, “off-the-rails” episode.

Let's talk about sex, baby...or lack thereof. In this week’s episode, “Sex-pectations”, Meg and Jamie get curious about feeling “broken” sexually - Where did the idea of just jumping straight into bed with someone even come from?
