We love them, we hate them, we dread them, we anticipate the worst–holiday parties. We anticipate the worst, sometimes we get it, sometimes it was actually a joy. This holiday season, let’s thrive at our holiday parties. Navigating tough conversations with people that you may have tried to avoid since last Thanksgiving can be challenging. There are things you can do to make it better and maybe even learn something new or gain insight into THAT person.
In this engaging conversation, Elliot Sands and Amberly Neese explore the joys and challenges of the holiday season, emphasizing the importance of connection, forgiveness, and meaningful conversations. They share personal stories, discuss navigating toxic relationships, and highlight the significance of compassionate imagination in understanding others. The discussion also touches on the impact of family dynamics and the role of faith in fostering positive interactions during the holidays.
Amberly helps people experience the freedom found in meaningful relationships with God and others. Her bible studies, “The Belonging Project: Finding Your Tribe and Learning to Thrive” and “Common Ground: Loving Others Despite Our Differences” and, “Untangling Faith: Reclaiming Hope in the Questions Jesus Asked” walk us through bringing God into our relationship to find meaningful connection.
Amberly is a featured speaker/ emcee/ comedian for the Aspire Women’s Events and Marriage Date Night, two popular Christian national tours.
