You know how family gatherings can sometimes hit a nerve, especially when you're raising a preteen girl? It’s like, out of nowhere, the little comments start flying—about how you’re parenting, what your kids are doing, or even how you’re handling life.
No wonder it stirs up all kinds of feelings, I get it. In this episode, I dive deep into why family criticism during the holidays feels so personal—spoiler: it’s not just you! There’s a mix of evolutionary biology and society’s expectations at play, making those moments feel even heavier than they need to be.
But here’s the good part: I share simple, practical ways to shift those moments from overwhelming to manageable.
Prepare and practice your responses ahead of time. It’s like having your armor ready, so when the comments come, you’re calm, cool, and collected—not spinning in frustration. Imagine walking into your holiday gathering with a quiet confidence that nothing can shake.
And then, oh, the boundary talk. Let’s be real—many of us were raised to just go along, keep the peace, and not “rock the boat.” I unpack why asserting yourself feels so hard, whether it’s in a high-pressure work meeting or at the dinner table with that outspoken mother-in-law. I share real-life tools to help you speak up without feeling guilty or getting defensive.
The best part? I flip the script on what boundaries really mean. Instead of seeing them as walls, I frame them as acts of love—love for yourself and the people around you. Because when you take care of your mental health and stand firm in what matters to you, you’re not just surviving the holidays—you’re thriving.
