[Happier Holidays]: How to Not Let Your Family Drive You Nuts, Ep. 1020
Today I want to talk specifically about how to navigate family gatherings. And to help with that, I\u2019m interviewing Amy E. Smith, a life coach and communications specialist who specializes in all things self-worth and confidence. Amy has been on the show before sharing how to enforce a boundary without being a jerk. Her e-workbook is called "Stand Up for Yourself without Being a Dick," so I think you can see right there that she\u2019s given this topic some serious thought--let\u2019s find out what she\u2019s got to share.\xa0\nI asked Amy:\n\nWhat is it about holiday gatherings with family that can make it such a stress fest?\xa0\n\nWhat can we do well before the event is even here that will help things get off on a better foot?\xa0\n\nOnce you\u2019re there, how do you get out of those fraught conversations with grace?\xa0\n\nHow do we maintain boundaries in a situation where we\u2019re in a room with the people on this earth who know how to push our buttons the most?\n\nHow can we actually enjoy ourselves at these gatherings, instead of merely endure them?\xa0\n\n\n\n** This episode sponsored by (thank you for supporting our sponsors!)**:\nAir Doctor \u2013 Use promo code BETTER to save up to $300 on this UltraHEPA air purifier\nLearn more about your ad choices.
