Yes, Dear

Holidays, Family Drama, & Healthy Boundaries: A Real Conversation-Episode 13


Listen Later

The holidays are here — which means food, family, expectations, stress, joy, and sometimes… a whole lot of tension.

In this episode of the Yes, Dear Podcast, we get real about the messy, funny, challenging, and meaningful parts of navigating the holidays as a couple. From forgotten recordings and outdated vocabulary (“knapsack,” anyone?) to family conflicts, boundaries, grief, and choosing to show up differently this year — we cover it all.

We talk about:

  • Why expectations shape every holiday
  • How to stay grounded when family dynamics get tough
  • Why old conflicts feel louder during the holidays
  • The power of showing up with no “sparring gloves”
  • Healthy boundaries that bring peace, not distance
  • Seeing each other as teammates instead of opponents
  • What it looks like to leave a holiday saying, “We’re better than we’ve ever been.”

Whether your holiday season brings joy, heaviness, tension, or a mix of everything, this episode offers support, perspective, and a whole lot of real-life encouragement.

You’re on the same team.
You get to hold each other’s hearts.
And you get to write a new story this season.
