The Winter holidays can be a struggle for parents. We want to provide plenty of space for our kids to relax and de-stress. But too little structure can quickly turn into restlessness and boredom and tension. This week we’re listening back to a classic episode that features the timeless wisdom of the sage Lorelai Gilmore. Her example will help you find the courage you need to set better boundaries for your family (and minimize the stress for yourself) this holiday season.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why a relaxing break without structure can turn into family drama.
The importance of having a game plan in place before the start of winter break.
How to provide the leadership your family needs to de-stress the holidays.
The Gilmore Girls blueprint for holding and setting boundaries even when it feels uncomfortable.

And much more!
