"When you're getting together with family, friends, your parents, and with your siblings, don't keep using the stories from the past as an excuse to feel what you feel today." - Kathy Caprino

You may think that pain and conflict with family and friends during the busy holiday season is unavoidable, but on today's episode of Finding Brave I'm giving you 5 practical and doable strategies that will help.

These strategies aren't just what I've encountered when coaching and helping others, but what I talk about today touch on challenges and struggles I've personally experienced.

Using these strategies will allow you to find ways to be loving, compassionate, joyful, and grateful all at the same time. So dig deep in your heart and spirit this holiday season and embrace the good, kind, the loving and compassionate – in yourself and others.

Make a commitment to see good and to emphasize what you have in common, what you love together. And your holiday will go very differently, I guarantee it.
