Episode 34: The Holiday Show!

Published: Dec. 30, 2017, 6:49 p.m.

b'Nothing says Happy Holidays like a slew of period stories! We also relive some fun AWP quotes and someone tells Dana that she\\u2019s a good friend (questionable). \\n\\nOur feedback section is so important to us and we love hearing from our listeners. In that spirit, we hear back from a woman whose tongue is dying. We read her original story in Episode 12: Love & Other Diseases and she has been sending us updates ever since. We are incredibly moved by her strength and courage. She is currently fighting cancer while pregnant and in Episode 34, she offers us a way to help. If you would like to donate to her GoFundMe page, it is here: https://www.gofundme.com/6mffn3-help-amanda-beat-cancer.\\n \\nDuring the Absolute Worst Therapy section, we try to help AWP listeners navigate the holidays and this section is kicked off with some Family Christmas Misery, as one listener calls it. We also try to figure out how to maneuver around snoozy holiday small talk and try to convince our spouses to correctly purchase gifts for us.\\n\\nWe end this episode with a Thanksgiving Yourst where one couple narrowly avoids being murdered. \\n\\nAlison and Dana ALWAYS want to hear your problems, advice, feedback and Absolute Yoursts! You can contact them through their website, friend them on Facebook, or follow them on Instagram and Twitter.\\n\\n**NOTE**\\nIf you\\u2019re thinking about suicide, are worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support, the Lifeline network is available 24/7 across the United States.
