Someone Tell G What People Do After Dinner!

Amanda Doyle, Glennon Doyle

Glennon, Abby, and Amanda catch up on the disorienting reality of empty nesting, the baffling question of what adults do between dinner and bedtime, and the stories we tell ourselves after we mess up. They explore the skill of feeling anger fully and then releasing it with a simple 'Okay, next.' A parenting moment brings Glennon to tears, and they discover—perhaps unfortunately—that golf is a metaphor for life.
