Holiday Expectations, Emotional Triggers & Family Peacekeeping | Over 50 and Flourishing

In this episode, I’m joined once again by relationship expert Laurie Gerber. Laurie is a veteran life and love coach with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and couples build healthy, lasting relationships. She’s the founder of Laurie Gerber Coaching, creator of Master the Art of Love, and host of the “Love at Any Age” podcast. So many of us walk into the holidays overcommitted, overstimulated, and overwhelmed, and then wonder why we roll into January exhausted and in recovery mode. Think of this conversation as a permission slip to honor your limits, pivot when you need to, and refocus on what this season is truly about: connection! 0:00 Managing Holiday Expectations 8:08 Honoring Life Seasons 11:08 Asking What Matters Most 17:01 Emotional Triggers 23:10 Navigating Awkward Conversations 25:58 Healthy Boundaries 31:08 Creating Traditions 34:06 Healing Relationships 43:26 Respecting Your Needs 56:15 Flourishing Five 1:00:03 Dear Dominique For more on Laurie Gerber, follow her on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lauriegerberdatingcoach Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauriegerber_coach/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauriegerber YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lauriegerbercoach Listen to her podcast, Love At Any Age: https://open.spotify.com/show/0SA9pM3VWnZG4lq1OGsKhR Sign up for her FREE webinar ‘3 Secrets to Finding and Maintaining Healthy Love without Repeated Disappointments' https://www.lauriegerber.com/webinar Thanks to my Sponsors -Storyworth: Give your loved ones a unique keepsake you’ll all cherish for years—Storyworth Memoirs!
