Summary

Hey, Fellow Travelers. This week, we’re checking in with Savannah, Ryan and Beth, Danica, and Amy to hear how our sessions have impacted their lives since we last spoke. All of them had trouble communicating with someone--a spouse, sibling, boyfriend--about an important issue in their relationships, and if you’ve been avoiding having a hard but necessary conversation (especially one that involves setting some boundaries!), this episode is for you.

If you have a dilemma you’d like to discuss with us—big or small—email us at [email protected].
