The holidays are magical… and also emotionally complicated.
You can do all the therapy, coaching, and mindfulness — but the moment you walk back into family dynamics, old patterns resurface fast.
In this episode, I’m sharing a holiday communication cheat sheet: five real-life scenarios + the exact scripts you can use to protect your peace, stay grounded, and navigate difficult or triggering family members with clarity and confidence.
We’re talking:
• body comments
• intrusive questions
• emotional escalations
• invisible labor
• old childhood roles
• and yes… the family narcissist
If you want to show up as your adult sovereign self this year instead of falling into old patterns, this one’s for you.
