Their experience isn't on me. I'm not sitting there like a little worker bee, like making sure that everyone feels comfortable with every single thing that happens. I'm just letting things naturally occur. I think with our situation, there's a lot of people there. So it's like you really could spend time with who you want to. And if you wanted a little bit of space from

someone, you could take that as well. So I'm Amy. And I'm Abby. And as women, we are constantly

comparing ourselves to others. But your life isn't supposed to look like hers.

And some of them we know about. So with your family, too, you might understand, okay, this person might come with the really rough conversation topics. This

person might come and have all the food comments. So go into it with knowing some of these things,

but then also, okay, what can we do preventatively? So a lot of these talks today are going to be a

little strategy, but also a little bit of mindset. Starting with one thing that we have done is just a big

open invite. So both Amy and my family,

we have a Thanksgiving where we're both hosting this year. And we invite anyone who can come.

So it can be family from both sides. It can be random second cousins that never get invited to any

other holiday, but they're coming to ours. We have invited neighbors in the past that didn't have anywhere to go. We invited friends who maybe their Thanksgiving
