Today on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are talking about chosen family. They discuss popular sayings like "blood is thicker than water" and "you only get one (insert family member here)" and why these don't apply to everyone. They explain that it's not all or nothing; a chosen family doesn't require the absence of a biological family. Emmalee and Jen answer your questions about finding and creating a chosen family, how to not feel like you're betraying your biological family by having a chosen one, grieving the fact that your biological family can't be there for you or support you in certain ways, and so much more! The episode ends with a Dear Em & Jen about navigating the wedding planning process with divorced parents and how it brings back a flood of emotions from childhood. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
