Summary: 

In this episode, Katie shares her recent diagnosis of polymorphic light eruption  (a sun allergy) that’s forced her to rethink her routines and how she moves through daily life. Amanda shares that people often find her scary, when in reality, she’s just CONFIDENT and unwilling to play along with the phoniness that’s so common in retail.
