Hairy Butthole Ep. 38: Live Your Life… Or Not, Who Cares?
What it’s like living life on your own terms
This week, Youngmi Mayer discusses in depth the huge shift that occurred when she was 33, when she went from living life the way others wanted her to living life on her own terms. She talks about the depression, resentment and uncontrollable anger that used to be part of her daily life as someone who believed she wasn’t good enough, and how she just realized those feelings are no longer part of her life.
