Let’s be honest. Working with your family can be equal parts beautiful and bananas. And when the holidays hit? Whew. That’s when the lines between pass the gravy and circle back on that project get real blurry.

In this episode, Angela and Sami get vulnerable and hilarious about what it actually looks like to navigate work and personal relationships within a family business. From setting boundaries around when to talk shop (spoiler: not at Christmas dinner) to knowing when you need your mom versus your business partner, they break down real-life tools for keeping your sanity and your relationships intact.

What you’ll hear:

- Why it’s so easy to slip into work talk at family events and how to stop it
- How to clarify which "role" you're in (parent, boss, sibling, coworker)
- What healthy conflict actually looks like in close relationships and how to repair it
- A behind-the-scenes peek into Angela and Sami’s family business dynamics (yes, even the tears and awkward moments)

Whether you work with your family or just want to create healthier relationships with the people closest to you, these tips are for anyone looking for more clarity, better boundaries, and fewer stress-fueled conversations.
