This holiday season might be a little different for us after so many folks begin to emerge from the pandemic social distancing practices. But over the last couple years we've all had an opportunity to get clear about our values and priorities. Let Julie and Gina help you make the best of holidays with family.
This episode covers:
- How can I set boundaries with family successfully?
- How can I start speaking up for what I want when planning holiday celebrations?
- I don't want to see my family over the holidays, is that okay?
