YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Turkey dry? Dinner late? Stop trying to control everyone's experience.

The pressure to "fix it" when things go wrong can be overwhelming. Mel Robbins, host of The Mel Robbins Podcast and author of The Let Them Theory, joins The Wirecutter Show with a reminder: It is not your job to manage everyone's emotions this holiday season.

Let them be agitated. Let them be disappointed. And you? You just enjoy your dinner.
