Summary
On this week's episode of So What Now?, Dex and I got honest about how the fall season can sneak up on your emotions and shift your whole vibe. I shared how getting outside, staying active, and even slipping in a little travel keeps the fall blues from knocking me off my game. We encouraged everyone to pick one short-term goal to finish by December and actually write the plan—because listen, accountability is peak grown-woman energy. And yes, I had to remind y'all that talking to a counselor or therapist is not a weakness; sometimes you need a professional to help you sort through the heavy stuff.
Then we moved into the deeper conversation: requiring respect from your parents as an adult. With the holidays coming up, some of us are about to be around family members we've been dodging all year—and suddenly the group chat ain't enough, you actually have to see them. Dex and I unpacked how to separate your parents' disapproval from your identity because their expectations do not define your worth. At the end of the day, you can't force anyone—parent or not—to change, but you absolutely can choose how you show up and respond.
Since Thanksgiving is around the corner, we wrapped the episode by talking about our upcoming Friendsgiving and how grateful we are for the community that loves us loud and loves us well.
Tune is this week for a discussion on celebrating friendship, growth, and the beauty of chosen family.
