This week on the Sticky Thoughts, we don't have a popstickle! We spoke on a situation that is rapidly changing and that we didn't have all the information on. We didn't want to put out a segment that didn't accurately reflect the complexities of the situation or our views on them. 

Then in Part One of our interview with  Lauren Ruth Martin of A Novel Life Podcast and Novel Counseling joins us and we immediately become long lost friends. We discuss Real Housewives and white privilege and consider quitting the Bachelor. Lauren shares her work with Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RODBT), correctly identifies Marlees as over controlled and Sierra as under controlled, and truly helps us better understand our relationship! We delve into the roots of perfectionism and how it puts all of us in boxes. Lauren's work with anxiety, depression, and perfectionism is important - especially during the pandemic! Hear more about Lauren and her work next week in part 2! Check out Lauren's podcast A Novel Life and her counseling services at https://www.novelcounseling.com
