Do you get scare-cited about the holidays?
You know… you love the season, but it also brings up feelings of dread, anxiety, or just plain exhaustion? 😅
As Anne Lamott reminds us: “No is a complete sentence.”
Families—they know us best, and somehow they also know exactly how to push our buttons. But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to derail your peace.
You have more control than you think.
✅ If certain people have treated you poorly in the past, set boundaries beforehand.
✅ Decide what behavior you won’t tolerate—and know what you’ll do if those boundaries are crossed.
✅ Your options? Step out for a 20-minute walk. Go back to your hotel. Or if it’s really bad, don’t go at all.
Boundaries aren’t about controlling others—they’re about controlling how you respond. And that’s where your power lies. 💯
If you want help building holiday boundaries—or boundaries in any part of life—I’ve got you. Let’s make this season feel calmer, freer, and actually joyful. 🦋
