Holiday gatherings don’t have to come with a knot in your stomach. In this episode, we dive into a practical, compassionate roadmap for navigating difficult people while staying grounded, clear, and calm. I walk through the exact steps I use with clients: making a real choice about where you spend time, running physical and emotional safety checks, and separating clean boundaries from hidden scripts that hand your happiness to someone else. If you’re ready to step into the holidays with confidence and warmth, this conversation offers a steady hand and real tools you can use at the very next holiday gathering.
