Bonus Episode Day 24

TITLE

Working Together and Respecting Different Needs and Expectations

GUEST

Solo episode—Patricia Young

EPISODE OVERVIEW

After surviving a long 9 days when my kids were home from college with their guests, I talked about how I needed to figure out how to create and maintain balance in Bonus Episode 23 since my boys will be home for a month for winter break. Jacquelyn Strickland, who has been running the Highly Sensitive Person--HSP Gathering Retreats for many years commented on my post encouraging me to rethink my statement to "It will be important for the group [my family] to come up with ways that allow everyone to enjoy each other's company while also respecting different needs and expectations." This got me thinking about how I have made my HSP needs my problem instead of seeing that as a family, we need to figure out something that works for everyone. We also came up with the idea of setting up my son in the "North Wing" when he comes home (aka garage!).
