Shownotes:

In this episode, I share how I approach Thanksgiving and the tricky family conversations that can come with it. I talk about why I try to be proactive during holiday gatherings, using simple communication tips to keep things warm, positive, and enjoyable for everyone. I also share how I redirect discussions to avoid unnecessary controversy including one of my favorite strategies: creating a "favorite things" list to guide meaningful conversations. My hope is to help you enjoy a holiday filled with connection, gratitude, and less stress.
