Your Mother is Driving Me Crazy – Navigating Family & In-Law Relationships Over the Holidays

The holidays bring joy, laughter, and… let’s be honest, tension.

For many of us, the biggest challenge isn’t the turkey or the travel—it’s the in-laws.

Have you ever felt drained after a family gathering, wishing you had handled a conversation differently? Or dreaded the annual clash with that relative who always seems to push your buttons?

The truth is, family politics don’t take a holiday. But with the right mindset and strategies, we can turn tension into transformation.

In this episode, we’ll explore practical ways to engage with in-laws and extended family during the holidays. From setting boundaries to reframing mindsets, we’ll talk about how to create peace without losing yourself—and maybe even discover new joy in the process.
