Summary
Don’t we all need a little help when it comes to surviving the holiday season and the family interactions that come with it? (Asking for a friend.)
Erwin and Aaron break down the tough family dynamics that most people will encounter around the holidays. How can we deal with those confrontations and relationships in ways that are healthy and empower us to embrace our personal journeys and earned identities?
Using their own family and experiences, they touch on how to identify those problematic relationships and patterns that can lead to unhealthy interactions. They show how to help people let go of the things they hold against one another and break down the relationship between forgiveness and trust.
Erwin and Aaron discuss the different cultures we walk into—even within familiar homes and households— and how to embody grace this holiday season.
