With the holiday season around the corner, I polled my community to see what you were most worried about this year. One of the things that overwhelmingly came out was that people were feeling stressed about spending time with their extended family.

The concepts and tips in this week’s podcast can be applied to any get together or holiday, but I think you will find them particularly helpful in this season.

Spoiler alert: It’s about remembering that we are all doing the best we can, and that empathy goes a long way in building trust and understanding.

Listen in as we talk about:

The four big ideas to having peaceful holidays
How to deal with loved ones who don’t understand our family limits and parenting style
How to navigate loved ones who overstep our parenting
Tips to working through criticism
