This week, Rachel is chatting with couples and relationship therapist, Mackinzie Rummell, ASW, on how to navigate tough conversations and boundaries during the Holidays.  We can't wait to share her insights and guidance with you as we embark upon the holiday season this week!  You can find Mackinzie on Instagram @beachy.therapist [https://www.instagram.com/beachy.therapist/?hl=en], or learn more about her California-based therapy practice at mackinzierummelltherapy.com. [https://www.mackinzierummelltherapy.com/] The digital courses and free resources she mentions in this episode are accessible right here [https://stan.store/beachytherapist]!  I also mentioned one of my favorite chapters from Brené Brown [https://brenebrown.com/articles/2018/10/15/clear-is-kind-unclear-is-unkind/]: "Clear is Kind. Unclear is Unkind", which is from her book "Dare to Lead" [https://brenebrown.com/articles/2018/10/15/clear-is-kind-unclear-is-unkind/]- not "Braving the Wilderness" [https://brenebrown.com/book/braving-the-wilderness/]as I misquoted -but both books are incredible works of art and I highly recommend either one!  If you enjoyed this episode and appreciate what we share here, we would be so honored if you shared the show and tagged us, @bloomafterbaby [https://www.instagram.com/bloomafterbaby/?hl=en]on Instagram so that we can see it and connect with you!
