#288: Problem Solved: Family Dynamics


Listen Later

You Sruggs wrote in with your family dynamic problems to solve and we workshop lots of ways that you can struggle WELL this Thanksgiving with your people. Kate brings the tough love on your hard to love in-laws and Em shares some REAL news articles of Thanksgivings gone wrong that are sure to make you feel better about your family dynamic. Oh, and the pressure of having the perfect Thanksgiving prayer? That’s something we help you let go of. Rebecca shares her family prayer and it was…unique! 

WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT:

  • A peek into our family dynamics (P.S. they aren’t perfect)
  • Perspective shift on reinventing the holidays 
  • When you have to skip out on a holiday for your own mental health and why it’s OK
  • What can you overlook this year so that you can love past an issue and enjoy your in-laws?
  • How do you handle your child favoring one parent over another?
  • What do you give to the family member who is impossible to please?
  • Workshop on how to confront someone who likes to gossip
  • Don’t be a WEINI! Which are you: withdrawn, escalator, negative interpreter or invalidator?
  • Join our gift exchange on Patreon!
  • KS: More home construction, car towing, Silk and Sonder planner pressure
  • GS: Botox, skipping a family event for a self-care night, finding a good babysitter
