ABOUT THIS EPISODE
You love your family. But do you have to LIKE everyone in it?
With the holidays approaching, one of our listeners wrote in with a problem a lot of us know all too well: a difficult sister-in-law who makes everything about herself, a family that enables her behavior, and the growing dread of another family gathering.
So we decided to call a little Bullshift.
In this episode of No More Bullshift, we're tackling difficult family dynamics, setting boundaries without guilt, and the uncomfortable question nobody wants to ask: What if part of the problem is how we're showing up?
We're talking about:
- Why you can't change that difficult relative (and what you CAN change).
- How to protect your peace without skipping every family gathering.
- Setting boundaries without explanations, guilt, or family drama.
- Why compassion and curiosity might change how you see someone.
- How our own family baggage can influence our children's relationships.
- The unexpected moments that can change a difficult relationship.
Plus, Peggy has an unpopular opinion, Marci has some practical survival strategies, and we might just change the way you think about that one relative who drives you absolutely bananas.
Your turn, Shiftheads: What's your strategy for dealing with THAT family member? Tell us in the comments.
