It's a kooky day in the neighborhood as Jess and Caroline bounce through topics from maintaining bangs to hating at a bridal fitting to blush trends and more. But don't let the topic list fool you; they get deep fast as they explore all the ways we tend to get in our own way in life. Why is it so hard to shake outdated, insecure, or self-deprecating versions of ourselves? Why can't we enjoy nice things?!

When it all seems futile and endless, Caroline's dad may just be able to save the day. She shares stories of how he's seen the mind-body connection come to life in his medical practice, and our hosts talk about times they've realized that stress and trauma have taken a physical toll. Finally, it wouldn't be a bippity bop episode if not for a few rejected jokes from Jess's running list. Laugh, okay?!?
