Impossible to believe, but the holidays are almost here and most of us are getting ready for some kind of Thanksgiving celebration this week. And with that, comes kids returning home from college and boarding school for their holiday break, so it’s the perfect time to have a conversation about what that might look and feel like considering how different life is these days. This year, most colleges are sending kids home for Thanksgiving and stretching out their fall break to roll right through the traditional winter break and all the way until the end of January or the beginning of February. And that means parents and kids are going to have a LOT of time together under the same roof this winter. So this week, as a way of ensuring that everyone makes the most of that time together, we’re talking about what NOT to do when your older kids are home for the holidays.
LIFE UNfiltered is something new. Something different. Something real and raw and relatable. It’s a talk show that celebrates the messy, perfectly imperfect parts of life. Every Sunday from 11:30AM until noon, show hosts author & syndicated columnist Lisa Sugarman and licensed psychotherapist Debra Gansenberg, MSW, LICSW talk about the everyday issues that are affecting them as moms, wives, working professionals, and friends. Gansenberg, the mom of three boys, and Sugarman, the mom of two daughters, take the theme from their latest book “How To Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids And Be Ok With It,” and apply it to every aspect of life from raising kids and marriage to work and self-care and everything in between. They talk, unfiltered, about all the stuff that’s keeping you up at night. And here’s the thing… they actually give you permission to make mistakes and drop some balls. And be ok with it.
Each week, Lisa and Debra focus on topics that affect all of us and have open, honest conversations about the good, the bad, the ugly, and all the moving parts that make up our day-to-day lives.
They incorporate a mix of clinical advice, stories, tips, proven strategies from the trenches AND the therapy couch, and a bunch of laughs, to help you find the magic within life’s screwups.
