In this new episode following their second number night, Elizabeth and Leigh sit down at a distance from each other and talk about the withdrawing stance of types 4, 5, and 9. Elizabeth’s husband Nathaniel joins them for the section talking specifically about 5’s. They start out with a discussion about the shared traits of these withdrawing stances and then go into detail about each one.

“If I sit around and “if only” everything, then I don’t have to prove to myself that I might fail at what I actually want to do. So back to Mary Oliver, You don’t have to be good, you just have to love what you love. Well loving what you love, means doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it, and stop all the ruminating. Risk being terrible at it. Risk looking dumb doing it.”
Elizabeth’s song choice to accompany this episode is The Streets, Tame Impala - Call My Phone Thinking I'm Doing Nothing Better
