If You Want a Day Off, You Might Have to Plan It Yourself

This week we’re talking about what happens when the people who hold the whole family together get a last-minute group text and a wilting plant. From funny fails to heartfelt moments, we open up about why those supposed "special days" can feel complicated and why it’s okay to set expectations, speak up, and even plan your own celebration. Whether you’re feeling seen or sidelined, this one’s for you.
