Bry Shirin | Digital Content Specialist for Boundless

Are you getting pumped for Thanksgiving or are you one of those people who is already celebrating Christmas? Personally, I LOVE Thanksgiving because there’s no other focus for the holiday than food, family, and fun — at least for my fam. There’s no pressure for gifts, not a ton of parties to attend — just one party, one day, together with the people I love. I know a lot of you might not feel the same about Thanksgiving — particularly because you may be headed into a place of conflict and strife. If this is you, I encourage you to listen to “The Boundless Show” this week. Tim Sanford offers some really helpful advice for navigating the holidays with your family and Lisa and the roundtable offer advice on conversing with people who just can’t go deeper than surface level (super helpful stuff when dealing with the people around your table, lol). So regardless of how you’re feeling going into Thanksgiving, I hope you’ll be encouraged by this week’s episode, and I hope you find ways to experience joy in this holiday the same way I do.

Your Artistic Passion Has Purpose
