Ever find yourself wishing you could skip a family gathering because of one person? In this episode, we spill the tea on setting boundaries with family—because let’s be real, it’s harder than it sounds!

We share our own hilarious (and a little awkward) family stories, plus some of the juicy ones you sent us. We’ll talk about how to use the “sandwich method” and why boundaries in relationships aren’t about being mean, but about keeping your peace.
