0:00.0	Girlfriends, episode number 149, setting boundaries with family over the holidays.
0:10.0	Hello and welcome to girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom, and I'm on a mission
0:16.3	to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy in family living. This week,
0:23.3	we're talking about an important thing, setting boundaries with your family, especially with the
0:27.9	upcoming holidays. I can't wait to get started on this topic. Let's go.
0:35.3	Hey, girlfriends, thanks for being here.
0:41.5	Thanks for joining me for another episode of the Girlfriends Podcast.
0:45.3	You know I always love to connect with you.
0:47.2	A big shout out to anybody who's a first time listener.
0:49.6	We have new listeners every week.
0:51.2	The Girlfriends Community is growing, and I'm thrilled about that.
0:54.5	So I just want to say welcome to anyone who's listening for the first time or one of the first

1:12.0	we women truly care about. Our faith, our family, our work, our relationships, our health.
1:18.1	All of those things are truly important. And I love being able to share about them here on the
1:22.1	podcast. And this week is no different. This week, we are talking about setting boundaries with family over the holidays. Now, I don't care who you are. There's probably some level of this going on in your life that you need to deal with. It's just part of life. We all have different expectations, different perspectives that we bring to the table. And when you get married, you throw in a whole other family in the mix,
1:44.6	and there is room for conflict, room for people to challenge your beliefs, challenge your
1:51.0	decisions as a family. And these things have a way of just coming to a head at the Thanksgiving
1:56.6	table at Christmas time when there are all these different social expectations, especially
2:01.5	inside of families. So I thought we would talk about that going into the holiday season here.
