November 26, 2024 • 50 mins

The reality is that 95% of us will be with our families over the holidays. So, how do you determine whose house you’re going to? And, how do you navigate the in-law relationships, particularly the one with your mother-in-law? I’ll be honest… I overheard some women at my local gym talking about the stress of navigating holiday travel and their in-laws, and I thought to myself, “We HAVE to talk about this.” Plus, a lot of you have reached out asking to have this conversation. So, about your mother-in-law… I was shocked to learn that over half of women are either satisfied or HIGHLY satisfied with the relationship they have with their mothers-in-law! Confusing, right? Because that’s not the narrative we hear…so, maybe the relationship gets a bad rap? To talk about it all, I’ve invited mom, podcaster and new friend Rachel Awtrey to the podcast for an honest conversation about the complexities of determining whose house we go to. Plus, we also dive into the deep end talking about mothers-in-law and our loving advice for any mothers-in-law out there. This is definitely a conversation that’s not happening enough. But life happens. So, Let’s Talk About It!
