The holidays are meant to be joyful—but let’s be honest, family gatherings can also be complicated. In this episode, Pastor Lindsey sits down with Brad and Kate Aldrich—licensed therapists, coaches, and mental health professionals—to talk about navigating those tricky family dynamics that surface during Christmas.

Together, they unpack why old tensions resurface, how to set healthy boundaries (and when to simply take a bathroom break!), and how grief, expectations, and family history shape our experiences around the table. Whether you’re dreading an awkward dinner or hoping to build new traditions with grace, this conversation offers wisdom, humor, and hope for finding peace and connection in the midst of it all.
