How To Navigate Family Drama Part 2 - In Laws
RELATIONSHIP ACADEMY IS NOW ACCEPTING MEMBERS

CLICK HERE TO JOIN
Colter, Cayla, and Lauren unpack the tricky dynamics of navigating family drama—especially with in-laws—through relatable stories, humor, and therapy-based insight. They explore how couples often get caught in “who’s right” battles instead of understanding each other’s emotional experiences and family conditioning. The conversation moves from examples like holiday conflicts and boundary differences to practical strategies for curiosity, validation, and creating teamwork when families collide.
Main Talking Points:
- Holidays & expectations: balancing rest, traditions, and competing family rituals.
- Boundaries & input: navigating unsolicited advice and over-involvement from in-laws.
- Cultural & parenting differences: managing contrasting values, politics, or child-rearing styles.
- Underlying emotions: shifting from “who’s right” to sharing how it feels (e.g., feeling stuck, unseen, guilty).
- Triangulation awareness: avoiding being pulled into sides or family alliances.
- Repair & curiosity: using calm, validating conversations outside conflict to understand each other and build connection.
