Do you ever finish a holiday and immediately replay everything that went “wrong” — the tense moments, the mood swings, the comments, the overwhelm?
In today’s final episode of the P.E.A.C.E. mini-series, we shift from self-criticism to compassion. Day 5 is all about gently evaluating how things went — not with judgment, but with curiosity and kindness. This step helps you notice what worked, where you showed up differently, and what you want to carry forward into future gatherings.
Instead of picking apart your reactions or your teen’s behaviour, today is your chance to celebrate the subtle wins, the moments of connection, and the ways you grew.
In this soft, grounding episode, you’ll learn:
• How to reflect on the holiday without spiraling into guilt or self-blame
• Why evaluating with compassion gives you clarity (not shame)
• Simple questions that help you recognize what went well
• How to use this reflection to strengthen future holidays and your relationship with your teen
• Why seeing everything as “information, not failure” frees you emotionally
This is your moment to breathe, honour your effort, and learn from the season with gentleness.
Press play to wrap up the P.E.A.C.E. mini-series with compassion, clarity, and a renewed sense of confidence in how you show up for yourself and your teen.
