Surprise! We’re dropping this episode early, just in time for the first holiday of the holiday season. So if you’re needing advice before you head out for your Thanksgiving plans, this episode’s for you!

It’s officially that time of year - a loving, wholesome season, but it can also bring in some anxiety around scheduling conflicts, over-consuming, family relations, travel, and finances.

In our WWYBD episodes, we answer questions that our listeners submitted on Instagram. If you’ve ever wanted to ask us what we’d do, be sure to submit your question as this is a recurring segment that airs the last Friday of each month. We try to answer as openly and honestly as possible to give you perspective and guidance from our own experiences.

In This Episode Listeners Asked:

• Do I get all 7 of my nieces/nephews gifts or do I do one big holiday experience?
• My In-Laws! I have a hard time connecting with them and getting past their negativity. How do I overcome their petty comments?
• Me and my significant other’s parents are having Thanksgiving together... My dad likes to talk about politics. How do we avoid an awkward situation?
• How do you balance feeling like a gift is meaningful and enough without spending a fortune?
• An appropriate way to ask family/friends not to buy you impractical things/stuff you won’t use?
• How do you deal with family members who bring out your past self that you are trying to move on from?
