Should I Take Sides In The Thanksgiving Family Drama?

Sami starts off today’s Thanksgiving episode of Dear DST by sharing her own holiday plans—including making her first ever turkey—and getting into the struggles that come along with these kinds of family gatherings. Then, Sami reads a listener’s Non Scale Win about dropping those self-created food “rules” and buying herself not one, but two pumpkin pies—how good does that sound?! Sami then shares a NSW of her own, and reflects on a recent DST: Back for Seconds episode about living with grief. Finally, we close the episode with a Dear DST email about navigating the all too familiar Thanksgiving family drama. Sami responds to the questions we all want to know—are you obligated to take sides? And is it possible to avoid a family fall-out?
