AM I BEING DRAMATIC?

About this episode

The hosts discuss listener submissions about overreacting in friendships and the expectations during major life events.

This week, the girls are back with another advice column after recapping Jaci’s quick Vegas trip and catching up on life. The listener submissions, centered around determining who might be overreacting in a situation, sparked a lot of strong opinions, especially around friendships and the weird expectations people place on each other during big life moments. One listener writes in after her friend tells her not to get engaged during the same year as her wedding because she doesn’t want the attention taken away from her. This sends Jaci and Chelsey into a full discussion about “wedding year” culture and whether anyone actually owns an entire calendar year for ANY major life events. The girls also get into questions about navigating changing friendships, feeling unsupported during major life transitions, and figuring out when someone is crossing the line with green card marriages.  !!!
