Family gatherings are supposed to feel like home. But sometimes they feel more like the octagon—you're bracing for impact before you even walk through the door.
What if you had a game plan instead of just powering through?
Vicki and Dave talk strategy:
- Why having an exit plan might actually help you stay longer
- How to interrupt a conversation that's going sideways without making it weird
- What to do when someone keeps fishing for information you're not ready to give
You'll hear why the bathroom is your best friend (nobody questions it), why you don't go to Home Depot expecting groceries, and what it looks like to show up without shutting down.
Not everyone at the table deserves full access to your life. That's not being fake — it's being wise.
