We lost our friend Benish Shah last week. Benish was smart, righteous, funny, thoughtful, passionate, loving and brave. She was one of the first people we spoke to when we were launching the podcast and we knew we wanted her voice on the show. Her episode was one of our favorites and we refer to it often. We are sharing it again today in Benish's honor, because her voice felt so necessary at the time and still feels that way, even more so. We've also shared some of her writing in the show notes below. Her "Is It Toxic?" column was so necessary and practical and compassionate and helpful. We hope you will get as much out of this episode as we did. Rest in peace, Benish. You are loved and missed.
