If you’ve ever left a family gathering feeling drained, overwhelmed, and somehow carrying the weight of everyone’s emotions - this episode is just for you. In Part Two of the “Sweaters, Soups & Seasonal Depression” Holiday Survival Guide, I dive into what unfolds after the festivities: the conflicts, the tensions, and the pressure to step in and make everything right.

In this episode, we’ll explore:
-how it feels to get caught up in family drama after the holidays
-why high-achieving people often take on the roles of peacekeepers and emotional fixers
-the childhood origins of becoming the “mediator”
-a checklist to identify if you’re the family mediator
-practical tips for stepping out of the fixer/peacekeeper role
-easy, down-to-earth scripts to help you stay out of the fray

This episode offers a trauma-informed, candid look at why you might feel responsible for everyone’s emotions - and how to finally release that burden.

This is Episode 2 in our new series:
Sweaters, Soups, & Seasonal Depression - Your Survival Guide to the Holidays
(…and honestly, for any season when family dynamics can be a bit much.)
