Tall or Nothing
About this episode

On this week’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey, Pete and Ross dive head-first into a festive storm of dilemmas, disasters and downright unhinged questions from you lovely lot. 


Christmas has officially landed in the Crouch household, and Abbey kicks things off by revealing the chaos behind her three-tree setup and why Warren remains the undisputed king of Christmas magic.


We hear from listeners struggling with everything from choosing the right foundation at 40 to navigating surname politics before marriage. Abbey spills the exact contents of her makeup bag, including the bronzer she swears by and the fake tan formula she’s secretly been developing behind the scenes…


Then things take a turn as the gang tackle one of the spiciest questions ever sent into the pod, before offering advice to those dealing with over-keen boyfriends, drama-filled friends, and marriages stuck in “admin mode.” Add in some of the best nickname stories we’ve ever heard, and it’s another wild, brilliant, no-filter episode.
