Redefining Thanksgiving Traditions in Midlife

cToday we're talking about redefining Thanksgiving Traditions in midlife. This may be especially relevant if your tradition will necessarily change due to a change in status. This could be due to divorce, loss of a parent, being newly empty-nested or simply that you want to try something new!Traditions are great, until they're not. I think sometimes we fail to recognize this.  We expect the 'Norman Rockwell' painting during the Holidays, when in fact, that rarely happens; it's a complete illusion! We want you to embrace new traditions. Take what you enjoyed from past traditions and let go of the rest. Expectations can be joy-killers.    Cam and Amelia give you a humorous, heart-warming look at what creating new traditions can look like.02:10 Traditions: Paternal grandparents, husband, separate opinions.04:45 Large family gathering without alcohol and games.07:29 Family traditions can change as kids grow.11:34 Holiday plans with family may change, adapting graciously.13:51 Thanksgiving with kids: hike, breakfast, brewery, fun.18:11 My daughter went, relatives can be stressful.19:58 Father uncomfortable on holidays, no need to entertain.23:12 Little considerations during the holidays for hosts.26:26 Downloadable guide with episode references available.Mentioned in this episode:Star BradburyListen to Episode 127https://www.buzzsprout.com/1803976/13906666 November Book Deal: Save 35% in November -Use CAREGIVER at checkouthttps://starbradbury.com/november-is-national-family-caregivers-month/100 Episodes, 100 TipsListen to Episode 100;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1803976/12715126100 Things PDF:Click HEREStay Connected!AmeliaWebsite:  https://www.thehelpfulplate.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/thehelpfulplate/CamWebsite: https://www.camoyler.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/heymomma_cam/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heymomma_camMidlife Mommas IG: https://www.instagram.com/midlife.mommas/Please share, rate, and review the podcast.  We appreciate you! ❤️
