In this special holiday episode, Katrina Mounter, a queer trauma-informed therapist, joins Kristie and Felicia to talk everything on setting boundaries with family. Drawing from Katrina’s anti-oppressive and harm reduction framework, they break down boundaries as a tool for connection—defining them as the distance at which you can love both yourself and the other person.

Some takeaways:

• How boundaries actually allow us to deepen relationships and say "yes" more freely
• Surviving difficult moments with "strategic avoidance" and internal boundaries
• Applying a harm reduction lens to deescalate family conflict, even imperfectly
