Holidays + Family = Stress We all wish that wasn't true but most of the time the holidays plus family is a recipe for stress. How can we change that? What can we do to make the holidays less stressful and more enjoyable? That's a question many people face every year. I'm Nikki Leigh, a Love Coach and the host of Ready for Love Radio. In November 2017, I invited Dr LeslieBeth Wish and Kristy Heart, a Life Coach to join me on my radio show and we discussed these topics and more. After the show we decided to put our thoughts on paper and to share them in the pages of a book. We also invited several other coaches to join us. We're also sharing a link to a replay of the show so you can hear everything we have to say on these topics. Join Dr LeslieBeth Wish, Kristy Heart a Life and Business Coach, Raeeka Yaghmai a Dating and Relationship coach, Susan Ball a Women's Freedom Coach and Self-Love Activist, Todd Creager a marriage and sex therapist and myself, a Love and Relationship Coach. We will each share our perspectives and our advise on a wide variety of questions about holidays, family, and how to deal with the ensuing stress. These are the questions we discuss - How do you describe what you do and how you help people? Do we have to deal with family around the holidays? Why are the holidays with family often so challenging for people? What are the most common mistakes people make when they are with their family for the holidays? What are common-and often dreaded-family behaviors? What are the top tips for avoiding these traps? What can we do to get through the holidays as a single person? What can we do to get through the holidays as step parents? What can we do to get through the holidays as newly divorced individuals? How can we help children if we're parents in a family that has been divorced recently? What if we have family members that fit into any of these categories - what can we do to make holidays less difficult for them? How do you handle family members getting offended because you don't want to celebrate with them? What can I do about feeling lonely at holiday time? How do I handle my negative, meddlesome family members? What if my family does not like--or does not include--my intimate partner at holiday celebrations? I can't afford to buy everyone a gift, so what can I do to show that I care about them? My family does not yet know that I have had a major life change, how do I tell them--and is it a good idea to do it over the holidays? I've been cut off from my family for a while, so how do I reconnect? I get very depressed at the holiday time, and I don't know what to do about it Why am I still treated like a child whenever I go back home? How do I handle nosy questions? Is it even possible to have a relaxed holiday? How? Who's responsibility is it to host Christmas dinners? How can I be respectful to different cultures during the holidays? We also included full contact information for each of the experts and there are links to some free gifts and bonus offers too. http: //www.readyforloveradio.com/family-relationships-holidays/
