I shared how getting outside, staying active, and even slipping in a little travel keeps the fall blues from knocking me off my game. We encouraged everyone to pick one short-term goal to finish by December and actually write the plan\u2014because listen, accountability is peak grown-woman energy. And yes, I had to remind y\u2019all that talking to a counselor or therapist is not a weakness; sometimes you need a professional to help you sort through the heavy stuff. Then we moved into the deeper conversation: requiring respect from your parents as an adult. With the holidays coming up, some of us are about to be around family members we\u2019ve been dodging all year\u2014and suddenly the group chat ain\u2019t enough, you actually have to see them. Dex and I unpacked how to separate your parents\u2019 disapproval from your identity because their expectations do not define your worth. At the end of the day, you can\u2019t force anyone\u2014parent or not\u2014to change, but you absolutely can choose how you show up and respond. Since Thanksgiving is around the corner, we wrapped the episode by talking about our upcoming Friendsgiving and how grateful we are for the community that loves us loud and loves us well.&amp;nbsp; Tune is this week for a discussion on celebrating friendship, growth, and the beauty of chosen family.
