Our Time to Rise in Midlife

Ep.431: We are the adults now - becoming the holiday pilot


Listen Later

Today we are diving into holiday planning dynamics.  

Talking about specific scenarios and comments from listeners, we discuss issues such as what happens when roles shift, or need to shift, how to have productive conversations that honor people, and what it looks like to put your own spin on old favorites.  

Whether you are happy holiday roles are shifting, or you are mourning a loss or change, this episode is for you!  

SCRIPT FOR CONVERSATIONS:

 “It would be a gift and blessing to me if….”

 “Would you be willing to meet with me about Christmas? I have some ideas I’d love your input on.”  

“I would really love to ___________________.  I realize this is breaking from tradition and I want to honor how you feel about that.  Can you tell me your thoughts?”

QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU RISE UP
  1. Who do you need to switch seats with to become the holiday pilot?
  2. Who do you need to have a conversation with about the holidays?
  3. How can you better honor the people involved in your holiday gathering?
  4. What does it mean for you to be the adult this year for the holidays?
“RECLAIMING HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS” – A FREE HOLIDAY PLANNING EBOOK SCRIPTURE

“Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.” Galatians 6:4 (The Message)
