In this episode, join Jasmine and Charmaine as they laugh and maybe cry a little as they unpack Gabrielle’s essays on love, identity, and those awkward moments we all pretend didn’t happen (but absolutely did).From navigating Hollywood as a Black woman to navigating family drama that could easily be its own Netflix series, Union reminds us that mental health and healing doesn’t always look neat—and sometimes the best therapy session comes with snacks and side-eye.
