Ep 53: Navigating Conflict during the Holidays
Holiday gatherings can be stressful—there’s no shortage of opinions and everyone is super-excited to share all of them. 😅😬🤐🤬
Nathan Hill and Leah Sullivan, NP join Mike Krause and Dr. Helena Fowler, DCN in a light-hearted yet insightful conversation around navigating conflicts at family, friend and office get-togethers.
You’ll walk away with practical tips to use at your next gathering or event.
In the Episode:
🎙️Embracing the season of gathering and interactions with grace and balance
🎙️Identifying and labeling sources of conflicts; the role of social media
🎙️Establishing healthy boundaries; understanding what you are willing to accept and not accept
🎙️Managing our states of stress; what’s going on in the body when these stressful things occur
🎙️Trade-offs of self-soothing with comfort foods and alcohol in the moment versus long-term affects on the body
🎙️Ways to divert the conversation
🎙️Finding the fun in observing and not engaging in the conflict
🎙️Conflict as self-fulfilling prophecies
🎙️Sometimes people just want to be heard; hearing an opinion without engaging in a debate
🎙️Remember, a lot of the time: It’s not about you, it’s about them … you don’t have to carry the weight of their opinion; maintaining a mindset of curiosity and practicing non-attachment
🎙️It’s absolutely okay to politely walk away from a conversation
🎙️Participation pressure; it’s okay to simply say “No, thank you” and maintain that boundary (even if it gets difficult)
