They even share what they dub the funniest story in the podcast’s history - a must-listen for sure! This episode isn’t just for those with BPD; it’s for anyone looking to understand the complexities of maintaining relationships amidst emotional chaos.
Laurie and Sara’s candidness offers a refreshing perspective, breaking down the stigma around BPD and providing actionable insights for better communication and boundary setting.
