409 | Why Does Everything Need a Diagnosis These Days?

Welcome back, WIFs!

Have you ever wondered when our everyday quirks and personality flaws became something that needed a diagnosis? This week, we're talking about the growing trend of labeling everything, from being overly sensitive and anxious to love bombing, narcissism, and all the therapy talk taking over social media. But where's the line between understanding ourselves better and feeling like every little thing needs a name?

Lauren and Michelle share their own experiences with mental health labels, personality traits, and the ways these conversations have changed over the years. Lauren also opens up about her long journey to getting an endometriosis diagnosis and why having the right medical answers can make such a difference. Plus, they get into the difference between being an empath and a highly sensitive person (HSP).

For their cozy catch-up, the sisters shares what they are reading, including The Book of Stoicism for the Women Who Carry It All and Nesting by Roisin O'Donnell.

And, as always, they wrap up with the simple joys that made their week a little brighter: football under the lights with a fire outside and watching the kids ride down the alley on their way to school.

Press play, get cozy, and remember to find the wonderful in every day!
