You’ve named the tricky relationships. You’ve thought through your boundaries. But what happens when setting those boundaries doesn’t go the way you hoped? In this final episode of Navigating the Holidays with Tricky People, Kristen walks you through how to prepare for pushback—emotionally, mentally, and practically. She helps you explore the gap between the boundaries you want to set and the ones you’re actually ready for, and reminds you that quiet internal boundaries are still real boundaries. You’ll learn five ways to ground yourself ahead of time, how to spot manipulative guilt trips, and why even tiny steps forward still count.
This is your prep talk before you head into hard rooms—so you don’t go in unanchored. 

Let's Sit With This is hosted by Kristen Callaway, LMFT — a licensed therapist in Edmond, OK.
