Dealing with a Family Group Chat

The podcast episode discusses a listener's issue with a family group chat where one member continuously shares quotes about healthy eating, exercise regimens, and calorie counting. The listener feels uncomfortable with the judgmental undertone and wonders how to address the situation without causing family drama. The host advises the listener to examine their own feelings and boundaries, considering if the messages trigger past struggles or if they are concerned about how others in the family might be affected. The host suggests considering leaving the group chat if it negatively impacts the listener's well-being, or having a gentle conversation expressing personal discomfort without trying to change anyone else's behavior.
