33. Your Guide to Boundaries This Holiday Season

If the thought of everything you've got on your plate this holiday season - and all of the extended family time - has you fondly reflecting on the no-gathering pandemic holiday season of 2020... you're not alone! But a global pandemic can't be the only way to get some relief around the holidays. Instead, we're revisiting the ever-relevant topic of boundaries, with a holiday spin.

Listen to learn more about:

• What a Boundary Is (and is not)
• Time and Energy Boundaries
• Financial Boundaries
• Behavior / Content Boundaries (looking at you your weird uncle who gets sloshed and says something totally inappropriate)
• How and When to Set a Boundary
• Why You Shouldn’t be a Jerk When you Set a Boundary (and why we all need to re-learn some civility after the last few years)
• What to do When Your Boundaries are not Respected
• The Surprising Person who is Most Likely to Kill Your Boundaries (spoiler alert… it’s you!)

Plus, Jess gets triggered when Andrea accidentally puts her on the spot; Andrea confesses that she struggles with the idea of doing things she doesn’t want to do… even when she really needs to compromise; and Andrea & Jessica discover that they REALLY don’t agree about Family Christmas Cards.
