The holiday season is upon us. It’s a wonderful time, but if we’re being honest, it’s also a little stressful. Whether you’re worried about hosting a big family gathering, talking with cousins who have very different perspectives on politics or awkward questions from prying aunts, the holidays are full of complicated relationship dynamics. On this episode of “Modern Love,” Nedra Glover Tawwab, a therapist, responds to questions from listeners about making the holidays just a bit more tolerable. Tawwab is the author of “Drama Free,” a guide to having better relationships with family, and the forthcoming book “The Balancing Act,” which is all about creating healthy dependency within relationships. She tells us why Black Friday is her practice’s busiest day of the year, and how we can all take control of our own holiday experience.

What does beauty have to do with winning a tennis grand slam,
or empowering communities, or tracking jaguars through the wild heart of South America?
Hi there, I'm Isabella Rossellini, and I'm back with season two of This Is Not A Beauty podcast,
where I uncover stories that get to the heart of how beauty is woven through every facet of our lives.
Listen to This Is Not A Beauty podcast from L'Oreal Group on your favorite podcast platform.
From the New York Times, I'm Anna Martin.
This is Modern Love.
And it's here.
We're in the thick of holiday season.
This week it's Thanksgiving, then the winter holidays, then New Year's.
It's wonderful.
But I think we can be honest.
It's also a lot.
I'm talking the big family dinners with cousins who you love but who have very different politics than you.
Those awkward questions about your love life from that one prying aunt.
Your new partner,
who you're bringing home and you're worried they won't get along with their siblings.
The holidays are stressful
because they drop us right in the middle of all of these complicated relationship dynamics.
That's why we asked if you could use any advice for this time of year.
