So many people start off their stories by saying their pain and suffering doesn’t compare to what happened to someone else. But this isn’t a game of Who Has It Worse, so why do we act like there is some sort of imaginary yardstick for struggling? Today’s episode tries to convince you that if you’re feeling pain, it’s painful- no caveats.
We are taking a break this summer to produce new stories, so we are sharing some of our favorite episodes while we’re on break. This episode was first broadcast in 2017, the year after we launched the show.
