Free Yourself From Family Drama feat. Ne...

Dear Media
About this episode

She’s baaack! We’re so excited to be joined again by therapist and bestselling author Nedra Glover Tawwab to talk about family – identifying and addressing unhealthy relationships, setting boundaries, and being able to live a more drama-free life. We discuss what dysfunction looks like, sibling conflicts, having guilt and shame surrounding unhealthy family relationships, why “just get over it” doesn’t work, when your parents don’t accept your lifestyle, and more. Before Nedra joins us, we’re discussing the topic of talking about exes with your current partner, getting excited about Beyoncé and Blue, and sharing an update on our friend who is battling cancer. Enjoy!
