About this episode
Have you ever picked up clothes or random items on a whim, because you were stressed, bored, or just felt like celebrating?

So how do you actually resist the urge? Are there any simple ways to stay in control? What about the bigger picture? So how do you deal with that? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
