Session 282: Blending Families for the Holidays

<p>The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.</p> <p>This week I’m joined by Jordan A. Madison, licensed clinical marriage and family therapist and contributing writer to the Therapy for Black Girls blog. We discussed some of the more common feelings associated with blending families for the first time, what about the holidays overall can cause tension amongst family members, how you can maintain your wellness practices while other people are staying in your home or you’re staying in someone else’s, and how to tell your family you’re not coming home for the holidays. </p> <p><strong>Resources</strong></p> <p>Visit our <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls">Amazon Store</a> for all the books mentioned on the podcast.</p> <p>I'm writing a book!
