3. Grief, Toxic friendships & the Trolls Getting Me Down

from Bantz · host Juliet Cowan and Anniki Sommerville

In this weeks Bantz, Juliet and Anniki discuss the complexities of grief and how the journey is rarely linear. When you lose a parent your reality is severely shaken and you never fully recover.    They also discuss 'White Lotus,' (who isn't!) and the toxic friendship between former high school BFFs Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan), Laurie (Carie Coon) and Kate (Leslie Bibb). Why do women sometimes enjoy it when their friends are going through tough times? What do you do when you have women who pretend they're concerned but are secretly happy about your trauma?    And what about the world of online trolls? Should you ever read comments when you're a writer or actor? And what happens if they tap into the very thing you hate about yourself the most? Please do take time to drop us a rating and review!    WARNING: This episode talks in some detail about grief and losing a parent    This season is brought to you by Clementine - the home of digital wellbeing for women.
