Episode 54 // There is something about family holiday gatherings that brings out the conflict. As you approach the holidays, or any other big family gathering, are you starting to feel stressed or worried about what’s going to come out?
As a family counselor, I have heard many stories about the hurt and pain that can occur at family gatherings. Long-term damage can occur. Every family has certain hot-button topics or unresolved issues.
That’s why today, as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I’m outlining 7 practical tips for how to avoid family drama (or resolve conflict as it starts) to help you enjoy the holidays, have a fun family gathering, and find peace as you plan for these special events.
Let’s dive in!

Episode 51 // Do you have a heart of grumbling or a heart of gratitude? (Does that question make you cringe just a bit?)

And stick around until the end to hear 3 of the most common action steps I recommend in the counseling room to help women develop a grateful heart. Having an attitude of gratitude is worth the effort.
