Navigating Difficult Relationships - A Festive Guide

The festive season can be a mix of joy and tension, especially when navigating tricky relationships at work or at home. In this episode, I talk about the common sources of conflict, like unspoken expectations and lingering tensions that bubble up when stress levels are high, and how to handle them with more calm and clarity. We’ll explore strategies for setting boundaries, addressing behaviour without getting personal, and prioritising quality time with people who truly lift you up! I’ll also touch on when it’s okay to step away from toxic dynamics entirely and how to protect your peace during the busiest time of the year. If the holidays feel overwhelming, this is your reminder to take care of yourself first!Here are the highlights(03:38) Sources of Conflict During the Festive Season(04:44) Strategies for Managing Conflict(10:08) Dealing with Grief and Loss(11:43) Final Thoughts and Encouragement Connect with Ruth:Instagram LinkedIn Website
