LDR: Friends & Family Edition

The holiday season is just around the corner, but it can be super
tough to fully enjoy it if you're far away from your loved ones.
And Pia and Paula totally understand the challenges of living in
different states from each other and the rest of their family! In
this episode, they share their experiences navigating
long-distance with friends and family and split-family
obligations with their partners. 








They reflect on past holidays and unpack their decision to spend
Thanksgiving apart this year. They also talk about their
excitement for their upcoming trip to visit their family in the
Philippines and offer their tips for coping with distance,
creating personal traditions at home, and embracing a "found
family."
