Navigating the Holidays with Tricky People - Episode 1 Artwork

Let's Sit With This

If you've ever wished someone would just talk about the hard stuff in a way that actually makes sense — this is that place.

Let's Sit With This is hosted by Kristen Callaway, LMFT, a licensed therapist in Edmond, OK. This podcast is for anyone who is getting through hard moments, healing old hurt, or growing into someone they're proud of.

Here we talk about the things that are hard to say out loud — anxiety, grief, trauma, relationships, self-worth, and the patterns that keep us stuck. It feels more like chatting around a campfire than sitting in a therapist's office. You'll leave with perspective, practical tools, and the reminder that you are not as alone in this as you might feel.

Pull up a chair, get comfy, and let's sit with this together.

Navigating the Holidays with Tricky People - Episode 1

In this first episode of Navigating the Holidays with Tricky People, we’re starting with something foundational: getting clear on the relationships in your life.

Therapist Kristen Callaway walks you through a simple but powerful framework—green flag, yellow flag, and red flag relationships—to help you notice where you feel safe… and where you don’t. We talk about why your nervous system may already be signaling something your brain hasn’t caught up to, how to tell the difference between discomfort and actual danger, and why it’s okay (and necessary) to honor what’s true for you—even if that means acknowledging hard things about people you love.

We’ll also gently explore the guilt that often shows up when family members fall into the “tricky” category, and why naming a pattern doesn’t make you mean or disloyal. It makes you honest—and that’s where boundary work begins.
