Family is one of the greatest lessons in our lifetime- especially when you realize no matter how much you change and evolve, you cannot change them. In this episode I sit down in-person with Karena Dawn, co-founder of Tone It Up, to have a very real conversation about this equally important and sensitive topic. In this episode, Karena and I both open up about our family struggles and how it's impacted us, we discuss taking a stand for the mental health of yourself and others, what to do if someone in your family is struggling, and Karena’s best tips on finding acceptance in it all. This is as real as it gets- I know you will appreciate the genuine vulnerability and emotion we share, especially this time of the year when a lot of things can resurface surrounding family. I hope this episode reminds you that you are not alone in these experiences.
