Prepare to transform family gatherings from stress-fests into success stories! In this series, Melissa Trumble, Joy Visionary, equips you with the ultimate survival kit—full of strategies, laughs, and a hefty dose of reality checks—to ensure you not only survive but thrive - even during holiday dinners and get-togethers with the most challenging of kin. 

It’s about claiming your power in the room, with a playbook that turns dreaded interactions into delightful anecdotes.

Show up with personal power by discovering the answers to these questions: 

  • How can I change my mindset to handle stressful family gatherings better?

  • What are some effective strategies for dealing with intrusive or awkward questions from relatives?

  • How can I use humor to deflect tension and maintain control in social settings?

  • What can I do to prepare myself mentally before attending a challenging family event?

  • How do I set boundaries effectively with family members who don't respect my space?

    Humor is the ninja-level mindset hack. When it comes to any...potentially awkward gathering, there is something powerful about being able to laugh, even (and/or especially) when things are awkward or uncomfortable."
