Dr. Justine Corry, clinical psychologist and therapist, shares personal and professional insight on family boundaries. She recounts choosing estrangement from her mother and explains forces that keep people tied to toxic parents. Short thought experiments, practical steps for creating distance, and how repair and grief shape the path to healing are discussed.

They share manifestation wins and a tiny country cottage dream come true. Deep therapy work and shadow work lead to big realizations about identity, shame, and intuition. New wellness routines, solo travel and writing plans surface. One cohost steps back to protect privacy while the other outlines future topics and guests.

What was meant to be a lighthearted moment from Jackie about a new “addiction" in her life led to a profound revelation happening in real time while discussing it with Gemma. The Besties then became vulnerable reflecting on how their friendship has changed now they both have partners and vowed to keep each other as a priority in each other's lives.  Thank you to everyone who has listened to Her Best Life this year, we’ll see you in 2026!
