It’s beginning to look a lot like… well, another awkward family gathering where everyone is going to question seemingly everything you’ve ever done. But not to worry! We prepared this episode just for you!

Whether Christmas is one of your favorite times of the year or one of your most dreaded, there’s no denying the fact that sooner or later we will all be faced with the dreaded conversation about our life choices and faith. Some will be accepting and others, well, they might go on a tirade demanding you find your way back to their predetermined belief constructs they have for you.

Don’t let the holidays get you worked up! Remember your life is yours to live and you do not owe anyone an explanation. Take the high road, stick to your boundaries, and most of all, enjoy those around you. Yes, even the ones that believe different and just don't get you.

This week we talked about:

* holiday stress and anxiety

* How to respect yourself during the holidays

* How to respect other people during the holidays

* How to respect God during the holidays

* Setting and respecting boundaries with family and friends

* Every conversation is a chance to learn
