Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Sam and Aaron sit down to talk about something a lot of students run into around Thanksgiving and Christmas break: meeting your boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s family for the first time. They unpack what actually helps when you’re walking into someone else’s traditions, expectations, and family dynamics — how to make a good impression without being fake, what to talk about (and what might be better to skip), and how to handle everything from awkward moments to mismatched values.They also talk about boundaries, preparing each other before the trip home, and why being open, warm, and respectful goes a long way — whether you're chatty, quiet, confident, or nervous. If you’re heading into the holidays with a significant other, this one might make the whole thing feel a little less intimidating.Join us every Tuesday for fresh discussions on mental health, relationships, academic life, and more. Grab your coffee, tune in, and let us know which topics you'd like us to cover next!
