Episode Details

 Please welcome Jade back to the Couch! This week, Crissle and Jade unpack whether a relationship with a parent is worth fixing, navigating a friendship that changes after moving to a new city, and addressing unhealthy parenting patterns that can pass trauma down to the next generation.

They also explore the impact of colorism within families and how to address it when children begin comparing themselves to one another based on skin tone and appearance. Crissle and Jade discuss the importance of teaching young girls about self-worth, sisterhood, and the harm that comes from believing one person is better than another because of how they look.
