Don’t Tell Your Father

Feral Girl Summer (Because Hot Girls Could Never)

This week, we’re diving headfirst into the chaos of a true Feral Girl Summer™ — the kind built on lake days, gas station snacks, staying up too late, reading instead of answering texts, and pretending “rotting” is actually self-care (because maybe it is?) This episode also takes approximately 47 delightful side quests. And honestly? That feels very on theme for the season. In this episode: * The difference between a Hot Girl Summer and a Feral Girl Summer * Summer Hot Takes * The art of summer “rotting” * Wren’s actual summer plans * Random stories about middle school dating, scoring baseball games, and explaining a children’s book called “Frog on a Log?” by Kes Gray If your summer aesthetic is  “feral raccoon holding an iced coffee,” this episode is for you. And if that’s not your vibe, come along anyway. It’ll be educational.

Why Are We Like This? (Anxiety, Overthinking, and Other Personality Traits)
