DeepSummary
The episode starts with a discussion about eating mussels for the first time and menu anxiety. Speaker A talks about being a surrogate and carrying her best friend's baby, but her mother-in-law disapproves due to religious reasons. Speaker B advises her not to seek approval and focus on her decision with her husband.
The next caller, Speaker F, is a 34-year-old single mom who hasn't had a boyfriend in 9 years. Speaker B encourages her to shift her mindset, be grateful for what she has, and not obsess over finding someone. He suggests focusing her energy on more positive things.
The final caller, Speaker G, feels stuck in her city because she keeps running into her ex-boyfriend, triggering her healing process. Speaker B advises her to control her thoughts, not let her ex control her life, and transfer her energy into helping others instead of ruminating over the breakup.
