Connection over conflict: Navigating expectations with loved ones during the holiday season

Doctor Ashlie Lester, Associate Teaching Professor at HDFS

KBIA's Rachael Norden speaks with Dr. Ashlie Lester, Associate Teaching Professor at HDFS on the high expectations and pressure our culture places on the holidays, and ways we can avoid – or at the very least, minimize – discourse with loved ones over the season through communication and shared experiences.

Joining the KBIA team in May 2023, Rachael Norden is a renaissance woman of the road less-traveled.
