Getting together with family during the holidays can be beautiful… or it can feel like stepping into a spiritual escape room you never signed up for. In this episode of Almost Awakened, Teresa and I dive into the real-life challenges that mixed-faith families face this time of year — from surprise prayers to passive-aggressive testimony moments to the subtle pressure to play your old role in the family system. In this episode of the Almost Awakened Podcast, We’ll walk through 10 practical, human, and emotionally intelligent tools that help you stay regulated, connected, and true to yourself when the room is full of different beliefs and a whole lot of history. If you’re navigating a faith transition, supporting someone who is, or just trying to get through Thanksgiving without a meltdown or a debate about Kolob, this one’s for you.

What you’ll get in this episode:
• Tools to stay grounded when old patterns show up
• Ways to create internal boundaries that actually work
• Scripts for redirecting tricky conversations
• Tips for mixed-faith families who want peace (not pressure)
• How to choose connection over correction
• Why you don’t have to attend every argument you’re invited to
• And yes… how to sneak outside for a 2-minute nervous-system reset

We’re here to make your holidays less stressful, more connected, and a whole lot more human.
