Eps 89 - Whoops, I said it again: Did Christmas bring out your worst side?

In this episode of the Re-MIND Podcast, Dr. Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton unpack the emotional rollercoaster that the holiday season often brings. With its pressure-cooker environment of family dynamics, high expectations, and personal triggers, Christmas can bring out the worst in even the most well-intentioned among us. Ash and David explore why we sometimes fall into old patterns during these intense moments and share insights into the gap between who we are and who we aspire to be. They discuss the importance of bringing curiosity, self-awareness, and grace to those holiday slip-ups - whether it’s a sharp comment, an emotional overreaction, or a decision we later regret. This conversation is packed with practical tips on navigating family tensions, setting healthy boundaries, and reflecting on growth without judgement. If Christmas felt like a test you didn’t quite pass, this episode will inspire you to use those moments as tools for healing and personal evolution. Tune in for laughs, honesty, and heartfelt wisdom, and get ready to show up as your best self, even when the pressure is on.
