How to Stop Reverting to Old Patterns With Family (and Show Up as Your Best Self This Holiday Season)

from Loving that Midlife · host Lori Buck

Friend, why is it that we can be doing so well — growing, healing, renewing our minds — and then one holiday gathering with family can send us straight back into our old patterns? Today on Loving That Midlife, we’re talking about why that happens… and how you can show up as your true, grounded, adult self this holiday season, no matter how anyone else behaves. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why your brain defaults to old childhood roles around family • The difference between emotional childhood and emotional adulthood • How to choose your responses instead of reacting out of old wounds • A simple mindset shift that will help you stay centered when others aren’t • A story from my own college-aged years when family patterns showed up loud and clear • How to decide — on purpose — who you want to be when you walk into the room this year This teaching will help you walk into Thanksgiving, Christmas, and every family gathering with more peace, more confidence, and more emotional maturity… even if no one else around you has changed. ✨ If you want to go deeper with this work, A Joyful Christmas is officially open for enrollment. It’s my 5-week Christian mindset coaching experience designed to help you move through this holiday season with joy, peace, and intention — no matter what’s happening in your home or your extended family.
