11/18/22 • 44 min

As a single person, going home for the holidays can be quite anxiety-inducing. Particularly when you are fearfully anticipating the kinds of questions, you may be asked about your relationship status. One of the ways you can prepare yourself when going into an environment where you might be met with uncomfortable questions is to think through some ways you can thoughtfully respond.

In this episode, Yana Jenay shares some tips on how to prepare for Awkward Holiday Conversations and provides you with some prepared statements on how to answer questions like:

"When you gone get a man?"

"When you gone give me some grandbabies?"

"Where's that girl you brought to thanksgiving last year?"

She also encourages those who are feeling particularly fragile and angry in this season to invite some trusted family members to run interference. Remember being mindful of how you are feeling and asking for help is a sign of maturity. Ask for help when needed.
