This is episode 352, how to have a healthy relationship with a family member who isn't doing the work with Dominic.

Welcome to Over It and On With It. I'm your host, Christine Hasler, and for over a decade I've been a life coach, speaker, and author.

Each week you'll hear me work directly with a caller as I coach them through a goal they want to accomplish or an obstacle they may be facing.

I'll provide a blend of practical and spiritual advice as well as tangible actions you can apply to your own life.

Now let's get on with the episode.

Hi everybody, welcome back to the show and I'm welcoming myself back. This was the first coaching call I recorded since having Athena.

This is wonderful to be back coaching and recording. I'm working very very little. She's only three months old.

And so I'm still spending the majority of my time with her. I'm sitting here pumping as I'm recording this call.

And my mom is in the nursery with her. I'm all tucked in the guest room because my office is now her nursery.

So it's just a lot of transition and I so appreciate all of you sticking with me through the maternity leave and hope you enjoyed all the episodes I pre-recorded.

And the coaches corners re-airs and you got to hear me on some other podcasts as well. So appreciate you so appreciate this loyal following.

And I have an announcement to make and I'm very excited about this. So in 2020 I said I was going to do my last signature women's retreat because it really felt complete.

Maybe I felt the pandemic coming. I don't know. I just felt like that was going to be the last one. And so March 2020 we had an out in San Diego in the spring.

And it felt really complete. But then the world changed. And this past year, especially since having a daughter, I have felt the call to do another signature women's retreat.

And it's just been nudging me and nudging me and pulling me. And so I'm going to do it. It's going to be in October.

Let me tell you the dates. Hold on. I got to pull out my calendar here. It's going to be October 7th through 9th in Austin, Texas. And it's going to be amazing.

We're working on the website and everything now. I just wanted to plant this seed so that you knew all your ladies out there that it's happening the first weekend in October signature women's retreat. Austin, Texas. So I hope many of you will be coming.

Today's episode, speaking of women, is about a relationship with a sister. You'll hear Dominique really, really wants to have a relationship with her sister. There's a lot of family history. There's a lot of things that have happened in her life, but she really wants a closer relationship.

But her sister isn't doing the work that she's doing. So is it possible? Can you have that kind of close relationship with someone when they're not doing the work?

So as you're listening to this call, consider, are you in a dynamic, whether it be family or someone else in your life where you're wanting closeness, you're wanting a more vulnerable, deeper connection, but you're just finding that the other person isn't.

Do you continue to be triggered in family situations or in a certain relationship dynamic? Does someone say something to you that often makes you feel rejected or judged or dismissed?

Are you doing the work and you feel like you're making all this progress, but then you go back to your family and you feel like you just get triggered.
