You will also be equipped with practical tips that you can employ to love yourself more.

In this episode of The Pick Truth Podcast, hosts Dr. Vicky Harris & LaMont Hearn Jr. are joined by Dr. Jessika Benson, a Professional School Counselor, for over 15 years. Jessika is also a trained therapist, SEL advocate, adjunct professor at Spalding University, and a psycho-education consultant. They read and rate some sweet, emotional, weird, and crazy confession stories. The rating ranges from Bell Pepper, Poblano, Jalapeno, Thai Chili, and Reaper. Vicky and LaMont start the conversation by reviewing their experiences for the past week.

In today’s episode, the hosts share the confession of a woman who is upset with her husband’s body fitness activities. The woman’s love for her husband seems to have been glued to his body shape and size. His recent body fitness activities are kind of denying her the opportunities, closeness, and intimacy they once had together. The lady is already at a point where she is filing divorce papers. Find out more in this episode! They also rate and discuss the confession of a man whose motivation to go exercising is to have a body shape that will please women. He believes that some visible abs will elevate his value towards women.
