Episode Description

In this episode, Hali welcomes her daughter, Morgan Ellsworth, BCC, MFT-I to talk about how to help children feel secure, loved, and grounded during the holidays when the family system is healing from betrayal. Kids pick up on tension, silence, and emotional shifts more than words - but they don’t need perfection, they need presence. This conversation explores how to offer age-appropriate honesty, create simple rituals of connection, and bring stability into a season that might feel uncertain or different this year.
