This time of year can be pretty special for most of us. It's a time to be grateful and reflect on the beauty of family. And it can also be challenging. Family get-togethers are not always sunshine and rainbows. In fact, they rarely are! With so many different opinions and personalities, what should be a time to come together and spread joy, can end in tense arguments across the dinner table, past wounds being re-opened, and difficult conversations that lead nowhere. So how do we navigate the holidays with in-laws and extended family? How do we have a day of peace and joy without leaving exhausted by our loved ones? Is it possible to get along with people we share as a family, but don't have much else in common? Is it possible to enjoy it even?The good news is, yes it is possible - Especially when we start with compassion, first for ourselves and then for our family. Listen to Episode 26 to prepare yourself for the best Holiday get-together yet!
