You want to experience joy when you gather with your family — not just during the holidays, but in everyday life as well.

You might plan, dream, and anticipate how much fun and togetherness you'll experience as a family along the way.  You probably look forward to joy-filled moments eating delicious meals, celebrating, and engaging in fun activities together.

But in blended family dynamics, it's easy for your joy to unexpectedly be robbed.  

It doesn't take much for disappointment, confusion, or even conflict to come along and pull the joy right out from under us…

…leaving us feeling discouraged, disconnected, and stuck.

In this episode, we're uncovering the common pain points that can easily steal your joy.  

Why?

So that you can build awareness and understanding around the sneaky dynamics that tend to emerge and often blindside us.  This will set you up for next week's episode where we'll offer practical tips, strategies, and mindset shifts to help you hold onto more joy this holiday season and beyond.

You'll Discover:

  • 3 common dynamics that often rob our joy and leave us feeling disappointed, confused, and even kick up conflict.
