Episode 10 and 11 of Gossip Girl takes us through The Life of the Insanely Wealthy and Holidays but no one is talking to each other.  

Dr. Nikki & Angi invite you into a no-pressure conversation to consider real life issues.  Get started asking some interesting questions and stop arguing over laundry piles. 😂 

Discussion points for better conversations with your teen:

Do you think people in your family should have a say in who anyone dates?  

How about the future goals of your life?

If you want to know more about what it would be like to work together, get in touch for  a free consultation.

Miserable family holidays are pretty relatable for most of us.

 Unpacking Gossip Girl season 1 episode 8 and 9, and there is no easy thanks in the giving.  We start out talking about guilt and confessions.   Families covering up drug addictions and eating disorders...you know, basically not telling the truth until everything completely falls apart.  

Once everyone becomes honest with each other...then you can start having a real conversation how to heal as a family and as a person. 

Wow! Maybe there's a lot to learn here in examining the fraught lives of Vanderwoodsons...

Build a safer relationship with your teen.  Stronger connections come from honest communication.

Can you overcome your reputation as a sleazy drunk? Let's check out the underlying emotions in episodes 4 and 5 of Gossip Girl, Season ONE.

Jenny is trying to get into the big time with a Blaire Waldorf sleepover, can Little J retain her true nature?

Dan is trying to impress Serena with the date he thinks she wants but he is off the mark.  We can never truly know what someone else is feeling or wants until we ask.  

Blaire's mom tries to guilt Blair with "I know you'll forgive me, no matter what".  

Bonus: Can you stay true to yourself while trying desperately to fit in?

Let's look at the joy and struggle of the mother daughter bond.  Let's keep the lines of communication open and the curiosity strong without lots of judgement. 

 Less judgement for those we LOVE and less judgement for ourselves.

Create better conversations with your teen.

Does Blaire have ANY emotional awareness AT ALL? Do Blair, Serena, Jenni and Dan do what they want? Or, are they stuck going along with what their parents expect of them? 

Join REEL TALK to discuss core beliefs; about what our lives should be like (shaped by parents &society and not necessarily by our desires).  It is possible to really take a look at our thoughts and beliefs and decide to do what matters TO US?

We explore the relationships between parent and child and where most of us mess things up. 

For more ways to have better conversations with your teen.
