Family Functions

We look forward to family functions…and then we’re disappointed when they fall flat. We dread family functions…and are then pleasantly surprised when we make a genuine connection with someone. On this episode of All the F Words, Joanne and Gabi explore how best to navigate family functions, particularly when there’s divorce, a blended family and – as happens ever more frequently these days, political polarization. Hear tips for getting through the family dinner, reunion, or wedding weekend, with minimal damage and maximal fun.
Check out Joanne’s new podcast: “In This Story…with Joanne Greene”. In each episode, Joanne shares a flash nonfiction essay, showcasing tales and observations from her animated life. Find it from wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.
