Why does it feel so hard to set boundaries in our closest relationships? How can we show up as our most authentic selves with our families? What does it look like to accept someone for who they are but also have healthy expectations of those we love?

Today, we’re diving into these questions and more with Minaa B., licensed social worker, mental health educator, and author of the new book Owning Our Struggles. Join us as Mickenzie, Hannah, and Minaa explore the balance between practicing radical acceptance and setting boundaries with people in our lives and how to regain agency in the areas we need it most.
