Heads up! Jenn had to step in and out to deal with some plumbing issues during this session, but we still did our Rose Bud Thorns and had some really meaningful conversations. We talked about what it’s like to set boundaries with family while still loving them, how to handle snarky or passive-aggressive interactions, and the emotional toll of caring for parents with mental health or cognitive struggles.

Big themes included shifting from trying to “fix” family members to accepting them as they are, learning how to protect our own energy, and setting clear intentions before tough interactions. We also touched on dating and how to show up authentically, as well as personal wins in friendships and relationships.
