Amy is thrilled about her self-gift this Christmas, highlighting the joy of treating oneself during the festive season. In a conversation with Kat, they explore the dynamics of gift-giving and receiving, discussing the differences between being a saver or a user when it comes to gifts.

As the holiday season approaches, Amy and Kat encourage listeners to reflect on their own gift-giving habits and the impact of their upbringing on their current relationships, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves and those around them.
