540. Family Holiday Survival Guide

The holiday season brings gatherings with people we love, but sometimes those gatherings include people who push our buttons. Maybe it's that relative who always has something critical to say, or the in-law whose worldview clashes with yours. You know you'll see them at Thanksgiving dinner or the family holiday party, and you're already bracing yourself for the discomfort.   This week, I'm talking about spending time with challenging family members during the holidays and how to maintain your peace when you're around people whose behavior you find difficult.   Join me on this episode as I show you why becoming aware of your own thinking patterns matters more than analyzing someone else's behavior, how to set boundaries without judgment when needed, and how the shame-blame trap keeps you stuck in family drama. Most importantly, you'll learn how to tell the truth with kindness - the key to genuine connection even with people who see the world differently than you do.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/540   Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/
