Chapter 1: What are the highlights of Meghan Markle's Netflix show?
But when I'm truly stressed, like I'm thinking back to the post-NBC period, like at the immediate period where it was genuinely stressful. Like I felt truly bad stress, the kind that gives you cancer, that kind. And it was the only time in my life where I seriously considered an antidepressant.
Really? Yeah.
but I wouldn't because I was like, there is no fucking way. Andy lack is getting me on an antidepressant. I refuse. And I didn't do it. And I know it's a weird thing to have a personal point of pride on, but I do, you know, I just feel like he never broke me. He, he kicked me. I was down, but I didn't stay down. And I got back up on my own. You ever, um, but that, that stress was, um,
manifested in obsessive thinking. Interesting. Where like, you just, you can think of nothing else, even though you have these beautiful children around you. And of course my life was still grand and wonderful and Doug and great friends. And you do find out in those moments who your friends are, which is another blessing. Yes.
But still obsessive thinking where like, you can't think about anything else. And this is, you know, this is damaging.
Yeah, I know. I know. I can still relate to that. I mean, obviously not something ever that high profile, but the idea of, feeling almost consumed by something and having the knowledge that like super ego in you going, this is bad for you. Why are you allowing this outside thing to control and define who you are? And you know, it can have deleterious effects, right?
to physically and you got to, but you have to feel it. Like that's the only way you kind of have to just feel all of those horrible, ugly emotions.
Sometimes. I mean that I agree when it's big, you must, there's no way forward without feeling it for a while and having a good cry and feeling sorry for yourself for a couple of days.
Right.

Chapter 2: Why is Meghan Markle's portrayal in her show criticized?
I don't know. Something about that song works for me. It's not about like, I just love that song. It's just, it rejiggers things. When this old world starts getting you down and people are just too much for me to take up on the roof. You know that song? I know that song. Yeah, it works. I don't know. It could be anything for you.
It's like rewiring your brain, basically, like your thought patterns, trying to interrupt a thought pattern that's destructive. Someone is in your life that is causing you agita. You can't really do anything about it. The thing, though, about like saying I would never say to somebody, never mention that person to me again.
They're dead to me because I feel like there's so much energy involved in that. Yeah. Right? It's a lot. It's a lot of energy. Now I'm going to have all this coming back, maybe like so-and-so said, what? Like I'm dead to that. Like I prefer the emotional version of the Irish goodbye, which is the slow fade. Like I will fade you out of my life and you won't really realize it until it's too late.
And I find that... And it also allows for a little bit of thought to like sort of process, is this a person I really want out of my life? Or in a limited way, is there something I do get from this relationship or not? But I typically will do like a complete slow fade.
Is it hard for you to move on? Like when you lose a friend? It was harder in my twenties. I lost a friend recently. You did? Over politics. And... It was an upsetting evening where I was like, whoa, what's happening here? And then I had to tell you the next day I was over it. Amazing. Yeah, because I was like, this person has shown me who they are.
I've received new information, which is this person prizes politics over our friendship. And I didn't know that prior to last night. So that's a gift for me to know. And this is not the right person for me because I am a very political person now, you know, I'm a very opinionated kind of can't avoid my opinions if you're online, you know, and following me on any social media.
So that's not the one for me. I, I, I'm very good at moving on from people who, you know, wind up not to be for me.
How about you? That's interesting because I think, and I've realized this since I was like a kid and my mom had such great, she had such high emotional intelligence. She was so good with stuff like this. And sometimes I'll be like, what would she say to me in any moment? Because you get to this age and you still deal with mean girl stuff. You really do. Yeah.
But I think for me, I think friendship breakups can be worse than romantic breakups. They can be way more devastating. And I don't know if it's because women tend to share so much of ourselves with each other. When you have a really close, intimate friend. I mean, I have friends who I cannot imagine being out of my life.

Chapter 3: How does the Mindy Kaling episode reveal Meghan's personality?
Same photo. They both posted the exact same photo.
So clearly staffers put all this together. Okay. And also, can we ask the lawyer in you to parse these statements? Because, okay, let's take Barack, for example. You still take my breath away. How? Right. With your fucking anger, with your complete inability to just get with the program and show up. At the inauguration, so I don't have to walk in like a lonely soldier. Exactly.
And then tell people you're mad because I was laughing with Donald Trump. Right. Maybe you're taking my breath away for that reason. Interesting.
So these are truthful statements, but you have to look beyond what you're actually seeing. I like that. And hers, if there's one person I can always count on, it's you. Yeah.
count on for what you're you're my rock always have been always will be in what way like the person who weighs you down right are you weighing me down in the ocean are you the immovable rock around all that we all have to move around like your ambition is the immovable rock and we are the waves crashing against it maybe it's that i
