Holiday get-togethers can be
tough for a lot of reasons, and if your family is often vocal about
their opinions around race or something else that you feel
opposingly passionate about, it can be extra hard. But if you’ve
been wondering how to NOT stay silent this holiday in the most
effective and loving ways, this episode is for you!
We’re joined by 2 legendary return guests,
Shiquita Yarbrough and Pedro Silva, to break this down for you
today and teach you how to have these tough conversations in a way
that creates more understanding and connection, how to choose the
right moments to speak up, and why it’s so important to not stay
silent this holiday season.
