Description

Boundaries are a skill, and Veatrice shows us how to practice them with kindness.

In this bonus clip from my conversation with Veatrice Farrell, we talk about the art of saying no without losing your kindness or your joy. Veatrice shares why boundaries are a learned skill, how TV shows can reflect the America we want to live in, and why sometimes a simple “no” is the most loving thing you can say. We also swap laughs about spicy food, Bridgerton, and her binge-worthy detective show lineup.
