Session 28: Calling Crissle

This week Crissle is answering your questions LIVE! Today’s callers are opening up about friendship fallout, feeling emotionally unsupported by family and navigating tension within interracial relationships and marriage. One caller is struggling with how to reconnect after ghosting her best friend for over a year. Another caller is questioning her role within her family after years of feeling unheard and emotionally unsupported by the people she’s always shown up for. The final caller opens up about difficult conversations surrounding race, politics and white fragility after her husband admitted he would’ve voted for Trump if they were American. Crissle gives advice on communication, emotional accountability, family dynamics, conflict avoidance and what it means to feel truly safe, understood and supported within your closest relationships.
