TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains talk around depression and suicide. Listener descretion is advised.

On this weeks bestie advice segment, a listener writes in about loving a partner through his depression. She's all in, committed, supportive, showing up every single day but she's running on empty and starting to feel the drain. She knows the saying we've preached for years: you can't pour from an empty cup. So how does she keep filling her own while still being there for the man she loves? We're talking about holding space for someone without losing yourself in the process, and why looking after you isn't selfish, it's the only way to keep showing up at all.

On this weeks she rises podcast, we're getting honest about the coping mechanism so many of us reach for and so few of us admit to: money. The quiet swipe, the cart that magically fills when we're stressed, the parcel that gives us a hit for all of about five minutes before the guilt creeps in. We're unpacking why spending soothes the things we don't want to feel, what void we're really trying to fill, and the moment treating yourself tips into something that's quietly costing you more than money. If you've ever hidden a purchase, felt the panic when the statement lands, or wondered why you can't just stop, this one's for you.

On this weeks bestie advice segment, a listener writes in about her husband of 14 years, a man she's fallen back in love with watching him become a dad to their new baby girl. He's affectionate in all the ways she loves, except one habit she's begged him to stop for years. It hurts, it happens at the worst possible moments, and every time she asks him to quit, she's met with the same defensive responses and never an apology. Now that she's raising a daughter, the stakes feel bigger than annoyance. Is she overreacting, or is this about something much deeper than a bad habit?
