On this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace share advice they would give their younger selves to help them better navigate relationships, including not taking romantic relationships so seriously, and setting boundaries within their friendships.
Amy and Grace also share their bummer news of the week – Ime Udoka’s cheating scandal, and the leaked audio with racist remarks from a member of the Los Angeles City Council. They also share their antidotes: a new coat and a new vision board.
This week’s Creative Tap-In:
“I think it’s just as important what you say no to as what you say yes to.”
-Sandra Oh
