In this podcast episode, Charlie and Brian reflect on the concept of family, particularly exploring the dynamics of found family versus traditional notions of family. They discuss the socially constructed history of the nuclear family, tracing its roots to the Victorian era and its reinforcement in the 1950s. The conversation emphasizes how family should be defined by mutual care, connection, and support rather than obligation or blood ties. They touch on the importance of boundaries, self-care, and the role of found families in fostering meaningful relationships. The episode ends with a call for listeners to share their thoughts on managing relationships and avoiding burnout during the holiday season.
