    Thanksgiving Surprise Gone Wrong: Boundary Dilemma

    Picture this: Christina had been planning her first Thanksgiving turkey for months, recipes studied, seasonings lined up, apron pressed. Then Big Eddie swoops in like the Iron Chef of in-laws and throws the bird in the oven before she could even preheat it. 🤦🏽‍♀️ In this episode, Christina and Eddie spill the stuffing on what really went down that Thanksgiving, how a turkey turned into a turf war, and why newlyweds need to set boundaries before someone else sets the table. They get real about family dynamics, “good intentions” that go sideways, and share how to protect your peace without turning holiday dinner into a food fight. Think of it as your survival guide to family, boundaries, and not letting your father-in-law become the surprise head chef of your relationship.  In this episode, Christina and Eddie discuss the importance of establishing healthy boundaries in relationships, particularly within family. They share personal stories about boundary crossing during Thanksgiving celebrations, emphasizing the need for clear communication and understanding intentions. The conversation highlights the challenges couples face when navigating family dynamics and offers practical advice for establishing and maintaining boundaries without conflict.
