Growing up, it's a given our parents will set rules around curfew, chores, and routines. But as we grow into adulthood and become more independent, it's reasonable to want to establish some healthy space.

On this week's episode of How 2 Deal, the brilliant Dr. Patrice Berry (you might recognize her from TikTok!) has some simple tips for establishing - and maintaining - that healthy distance. Tune in, let Dr. Berry's wise words wash over you, and don't forget to leave us a comment letting us know what you'd like to see next on How 2 Deal.
