Sarah went to Vail Pride and is getting very emotional about her LGBTQ journey, the self-doubt she’s grappled with, and her goal of self-acceptance. We explore why we’re often hardest on ourselves and more accepting of others. Sarah talks about a study on rule followers, and we speculate about why people follow rules even when no one would know if they broke it. We discuss why procrastination can be about avoiding feelings that make us uncomfortable rather than the task itself. Sarah’s plant stealing lifestyle continues, and she is having guilt about some *leaves* she picked up off the ground. We debate whether private companies should be allowed to “own” celestial bodies.
