Listen to today's podcast... Holidays provide opportunity for celebration, and they often bring about family tension. By determining your goals for the holidays and by staying in control of your reactions, you can help to ward off excessive stress and have a stress-free family gathering – whatever that may look like this year. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      So here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Stress-Free Family Gatherings Week: The first and most important step to a less stressful family gathering is to determine who pushes your buttons. Then understand what the person gets from being so difficult. Some want to feel more in control over what is happening around them. Some want to feel important and listened to, and some want to avoid outright conflict, but will act out their annoyance or disagreement through other negative behaviours. By understanding what people expect to gain from using undesirable behaviours, we are in a much better position to deflect and defeat the difficult behaviour and move the person towards more acceptable ways of responding. Our job is to help these family members feel more in control, more listened to and more important. My second tip is to avoid ‘holiday perfectionism'. Thinking, saying, or planning for the best holiday ever can lead to certain disappointment. Be okay with disorganization, conflict, and family chaos. Going with the flow will help to reduce your stress. Finally, stop and be in the moment. When you start to feel the tension rising, take a moment to notice the wondrous sights, sounds, and smells around. Changing focus helps to reduce your stress level. Wishing you a meaningful, joyful, and Stress-Free Family Gathering. Remember, If you like today's wellness tips, let me know.

Holiday cheer gets all the headlines, but the real story often includes tension, old patterns, and big expectations. We get honest about the pressure to make everything magical and offer a simple, usable plan to stay grounded when emotions spike. Our five-step PEACE framework—Pause, Examine, Adjust, Choose, Exit or Engage—turns reactive moments into chances for clarity and connection.We start with the body: how a brief pause settles the nervous system and opens space for choice. Then we name what's real. Beyond happy, sad, and mad, the holidays can stir guilt, resentment, grief, envy, and fatigue. By labeling emotions accurately, we stop fighting ghosts and address the true issue. From there, we examine the stories we carry about tradition, timing, and roles. If your family's script was written decades ago, it might be time for an edit that honors meaning without clinging to methods that no longer fit.Next, we practice choosing centered responses that align words, tone, and body language. That might look like a gentle boundary, a topic shift, a curious question, or purposeful silence. Finally, we decide when to exit to protect calm or engage to build trust—both valid when chosen with intention. Along the way, we share prompts to identify triggers, plan responses, and give yourself grace when you slip. You can't control every dynamic, but you can control how you show up, and that choice often shifts the entire room.If you're ready to trade perfection for presence and turn conflict into clarity, this conversation is your guide. Listen, pick one tool to try at your next gathering, and notice what changes. If it helps, share the episode with someone who needs a little more peace this season, and subscribe or leave a review so we can bring more calm, practical tools to your feed.#HolidayStress #FamilyDynamics #HolidayGatherings #EmotionalIntelligence #EmotionalAgility #EmotionalRegulation #NervousSystemRegulation #RespondNotReact #PauseAndChoose #StayGrounded #InnerCalm #ChoosePeace #BoundariesWithCompassion #HealthyRelationships #PresenceOverPerfection #ConnectionOverConflict #StressManagementTools #CalmUnderPressure #SelfAwareness #ConsciousChoices #LeadYourself #GraceUnderPressure #ClarityAndConnection #PEACEFrameworkQuestions?

Sungmin asked with a smile.Ko: 지나가 잠시 정리하던 일을 멈추고 그를 바라보았습니다.En: Jina paused her organizing and looked at him.Ko: 해은은 늘 창의적인 아이였습니다.En: Haeun was always a creative child.Ko: 그녀는 혼자만의 상상 속 세계에 빠져 있는 것을 좋아했죠.En: She loved getting lost in her imaginary world.Ko: 언니 오빠와 부모님이 이해하지 못한다고 느끼곤 했습니다.En: She often felt that her parents and siblings did not understand her.Ko: 하지만 언니, 오빠와 함께 경복궁에 가는 것은 매번 즐거운 일이었습니다.En: However, going to Gyeongbokgung with her siblings was always a delight.Ko: 겨울의 경복궁은 북적였습니다.En: Gyeoul Gyeongbokgung was bustling.Ko: 크리스마스가 다가오기 때문이죠.En: It was because Christmas was approaching.Ko: 궁궐의 전통적인 건축물들 속에서 따뜻한 차를 마시는 사람들, 눈 싸움을 하는 어린아이들이 보였습니다.En: Among the palace's traditional buildings, people were drinking warm tea, and children were having snowball fights.Ko: 모든 것이 완벽해 보였습니다.En: Everything seemed perfect.Ko: 그러나 지나의 마음은 여전히 불안했습니다.En: However, Jina's heart was still uneasy.Ko: 지나는 문득 생각했습니다. '모든 걸 혼자 할 필요는 없잖아. 성민과 해은도 도와줄 수 있어.'En: Jina suddenly thought, 'I don't have to do everything by myself. Sungmin and Haeun can help too.'Ko: 그녀는 곧바로 성민과 해은을 불렀습니다.En: She promptly called Sungmin and Haeun.Ko: "우리 함께 할 일을 나눠 보자," 지나가 말했습니다.En: "Let's divide the tasks and work together," Jina said.Ko: 모든 준비가 거의 완료될 즈음, 일이 틀어지기 시작했습니다.En: Just as almost all the preparations were completed, things started to go wrong.Ko: 해은이 케이크를 놓친 것입니다.En: Haeun dropped the cake.Ko: 케이크는 바닥에 떨어져 온 가족이 당황했습니다.En: The cake fell to the floor, and the entire family was in shock.Ko: 지나의 얼굴이 흰 눈처럼 하얘졌습니다.En: Jina's face turned as white as the snow.Ko: 하지만 성민은 달랐습니다.En: But Sungmin was different.Ko: "괜찮아! 우리 다시 준비하면 돼!" 성민이 밝은 목소리로 말했습니다.En: "It's okay! We can prepare it again!" Sungmin said in a bright voice.Ko: 그의 말에 모두가 힘을 냈습니다.En: Motivated by his words, everyone regained their strength.Ko: 가족이 똘똘 뭉쳐 준비한 결과, 저녁 식사는 무사히 끝났습니다.En: Thanks to the family pulling together, the dinner went smoothly.Ko: 할아버지와 할머니는 웃으며 고개를 끄덕였습니다.En: Their grandfather and grandmother nodded with smiles.Ko: "우리 손주들 정말 멋지구나," 할아버지가 미소를 띄었습니다.En: "Our grandchildren are truly wonderful," their grandfather smiled.Ko: 그날 저녁, 지나, 성민, 해은은 서로를 바라보며 웃었습니다.En: That evening, Jina, Sungmin, and Haeun looked at each other and laughed.Ko: 지나의 마음은 한결 가벼웠습니다.En: Jina felt lighter in heart.Ko: '함께라서 좋다,' 지나가 생각했습니다.En: 'It's good to be together,' Jina thought.Ko: 남매는 비로소 진정한 협력과 사랑을 나누었습니다.En: The siblings finally shared true cooperation and love.Ko: 이 모든 것이 완벽한 결과가 아닌, 함께하는 순간 자체가 의미가 있음을 깨달았습니다.En: They realized that it wasn't the perfect result that mattered, but the moments they shared together were meaningful.Ko: 그들은 그날 밤을 잊지 못할 것입니다.En: They will never forget that night.Ko: 처음 보는 눈의 경복궁, 따뜻한 가족의 웃음.En: Cheoeum boneun nun-ui Gyeongbokgung, the warm laughter of the family.Ko: 그것이 바로 그들의 진정한 크리스마스였습니다.En: That was their true Christmas.

23rd November 2025 - For our all-ages family gathering, we considered 3 practical ways we "hold firmly to the word of truth".

Surviving Family Gatherings Without Becoming the Family Therapist: Emotional Boundaries for the Holidays Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy explore how therapists can navigate family gatherings without slipping into the role of “family therapist.” They discuss emotional boundaries, guilt, codependency, and the importance of authenticity during the holiday season. Learn how to recognize old family patterns, manage emotional triggers, and show up as a whole human (not just a clinician) when family dynamics get complicated. Key Takeaways for Therapists: Therapists often revert to caretaker or mediator roles during family gatherings. Emotional boundaries matter as much as physical ones: protect your energy. “JADE” doesn't go to Thanksgiving: Don't Justify, Argue, Defend, or Explain. It's okay to have emotions and step away from unproductive conversations. Clarify your role (family member, not therapist) and engage authentically.

Jessie encourages listeners to take ownership of their responses and to create a plan that aligns with their personal growth, ultimately leading to a more confident and fulfilling holiday experience.   takeaways Holidays can trigger old patterns and emotions. Preparation is key to handling family gatherings. Identify personal triggers to respond better. Self-doubt often fuels emotional reactions. You don't owe anyone an explanation for your choices. Staying aligned with your goals is crucial during the holidays. It's okay to say no to conversations that don't serve you. Prioritize your health and fitness during the holiday season. Confidence can change the way you experience family gatherings. Take ownership of your identity and personal growth. 00:00 Navigating Holiday Triggers 02:54 Preparing for Family Gatherings 06:06 Staying Aligned with Your Goals 08:52 Building Confidence During the Holidays 12:07 Taking Ownership of Your Identity   Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement.

We're serving up a full plate of Thanksgiving horror stories—killer turkeys, cursed family dinners, and cozy traditions that turn disturbingly dark. This feature-length Thanksgiving horror podcast special is made for holiday travel, late-night cooking, or hiding from your relatives while you lose yourself in a long, chilling anthology of spooky tales.Inside this Weekly Spooky Thanksgiving horror compilation, you'll hear:• “Thanksgiving Dinner” — by Rachael RedolfiA cop comes home to quiet Monticello, Indiana for Thanksgiving… but her picture-perfect small town and deeply religious family are hiding tensions ready to explode. When dinner is finally served, the secrets on the table may be far more dangerous than anything in the oven. Perfect for fans of small-town horror and family-gathering gone wrong stories.• “Turkey Shoot” — by David O'HanlonA small-town sheriff, a rookie deputy, and a jumpy coroner investigate a mutilated body and a missing turkey hunter. Out in the woods, they discover that something is hunting them back—and this year's Thanksgiving bird has a lot more bite than anyone bargained for. A brutal, fun killer turkey story with slasher energy.• “Fiendsgiving” — by Rob FieldsA toxic friend group races to make it to an exclusive Thanksgiving-night party, desperate to stay on their queen bee's good side. But once they arrive, jealousies, grudges, and cruel games morph into something far deadlier, turning “friendsgiving” into a bloody, supernatural trap. Ideal for listeners who love holiday party horror.• “Turkey Terror” — by Douglas WaltzRaised in a family that celebrates Thanksgiving by hunting their own bird, one man treks through the frozen Upper Peninsula determined to end the tradition forever. At an isolated cave on the shore of Lake Superior, he learns why no one talks about the last hunt… and what really stalks the snow. A chilling slice of winter wilderness horror.• “Homecoming” — by Rob FieldsStrickfield teens Bella and Einny can't wait to escape their cursed hometown for Thanksgiving break. But Strickfield doesn't let go so easily. As family, old enemies, and something far darker close in, their holiday road trip turns into a deadly homecoming they may not survive. Great for fans of YA-style supernatural horror and small-town curses.• “The Real First Thanksgiving” — by Bruce HaneyA woman wakes in a black room lit only by a TV stuck on strange, Thanksgiving-themed programming and a painting of the Mayflower that seems to shift when she looks away. As she pieces together her captivity, another Thanksgiving story unfolds—about a young man, a brutal family fight, and a holiday tradition with roots in something much older and crueler. A moody blend of psychological horror and folk horror.If you love free horror podcasts, scary Thanksgiving stories, killer turkey horror, creepy pilgrims, haunted families, and long-form spooky audio to binge, this Weekly Spooky Thanksgiving special belongs in your holiday playlist. Press play and make your feast a little bloodier.

Transcript:Da: Sommerens varme omfavnede den store familiebolig, mens solen kastede gyldne stråler på blomstrende haver.En: The warmth of summer embraced the large family home, as the sun cast golden rays on blooming gardens.Da: Fuglesangen fyldte luften, og man kunne næsten smage forventningen i brisen.En: The air was filled with birdsong, and one could almost taste the anticipation in the breeze.Da: Indenfor var der travlhed, da familien gjorde sig klar til den årlige sommerfamiliesammenkomst.En: Inside, there was hustle and bustle as the family prepared for the annual summer family gathering.Da: Mikkel, den ældste af søskendeflokken, gik rundt med en notesblok i hånden.En: Mikkel, the eldest of the siblings, walked around with a notepad in hand.Da: Hans bryn var let rynket af koncentration.En: His brow was slightly furrowed with concentration.Da: Han sørgede for, at alt gik efter planen.En: He ensured that everything went according to plan.Da: Bordene skulle dækkes, maden skulle være klar, og alle skulle have det godt.En: The tables had to be set, the food had to be ready, and everyone needed to feel good.Da: Men dybt inde følte han sig presset.En: But deep down, he felt pressured.Da: Hvordan kunne han sikre, at alt blev perfekt?En: How could he ensure that everything was perfect?Da: Freja var allerede i haven, ivrigt i gang med at hænge kulørte lyskæder op mellem æbletræerne.En: Freja was already in the garden, eagerly hanging colorful light chains between the apple trees.Da: Hun lo og snakkede med naboernes børn, der kom forbi for at hjælpe til.En: She laughed and chatted with the neighbors' children who stopped by to help out.Da: For Freja var en fest først rigtig god, når der var grin og glæde.En: For Freja, a party was only truly great when there was laughter and joy.Da: Hun mærkede ikke presset som Mikkel, men ønskede kun, at alle havde det sjovt.En: She didn't feel the pressure like Mikkel, but only wished for everyone to have fun.Da: Inde i huset sad Thyra ved køkkenbordet med en bog foran sig.En: Inside the house, Thyra sat at the kitchen table with a book in front of her.Da: Hun trak vejret dybt og ønskede alt dette kaos var overstået.En: She took a deep breath and wished all this chaos was over.Da: Hun trivedes bedst i stilhed og fandt det svært at være midt i den larmende forberedelse.En: She thrived best in silence and found it difficult to be in the midst of the noisy preparation.Da: Alligevel ville hun gerne hjælpe sine søskende, så da Mikkel bad om hjælp, lagde hun bogen til side.En: Nevertheless, she wanted to help her siblings, so when Mikkel asked for help, she put the book aside.Da: "Mikkel," sagde Freja, da hun kom indenfor med et glimt i øjet, "skal vi ikke bare nyde dagen og lave lidt om på planen?En: "Mikkel," said Freja, as she came inside with a glint in her eye, "can't we just enjoy the day and change the plan a little?"Da: "Mikkel tøvede.En: Mikkel hesitated.Da: Kunne han virkelig slippe kontrollen?En: Could he really let go of control?Da: Men han så Frejas begejstring og Thyra, der ventede på hans beslutning.En: But he saw Freja's enthusiasm and Thyra, waiting for his decision.Da: Måske var det netop det, han havde brug for.En: Maybe that was exactly what he needed.Da: To hold, der kunne finde balancen mellem struktur og leg.En: Two teams that could find the balance between structure and play.Da: "Okay," sagde Mikkel til sidst.En: "Okay," said Mikkel finally.Da: "Freja, du sørger for underholdningen.En: "Freja, you take care of the entertainment.Da: Thyra, du hjælper med bordene.En: Thyra, you help with the tables.Da: Jeg.En: I...Da: jeg slapper lidt af.En: I'll relax a bit."Da: "Da gæsterne begyndte at ankomme, strømmede latter og samtale gennem den store have.En: As the guests began to arrive, laughter and conversation flowed through the large garden.Da: Mikkel lænede sig op ad en stolpe og betragtede scenen.En: Mikkel leaned against a post and watched the scene.Da: Børn løb omkring, farverige lanterner svajede i aftenbrisen, og familier samledes om de store træborde.En: Children ran about, colorful lanterns swayed in the evening breeze, and families gathered around the large wooden tables.Da: Kaotisk, ja.En: Chaotic, yes.Da: Perfekt?En: Perfect?Da: Ikke helt.En: Not quite.Da: Men i dette øjeblik betød det intet for Mikkel.En: But in this moment, it meant nothing to Mikkel.Da: Han så Frejas glade smil og Thyra, der nød en stille samtale med en kusine.En: He saw Freja's happy smile and Thyra, enjoying a quiet conversation with a cousin.Da: For første gang følte han sig rolig.En: For the first time, he felt calm.Da: Lykken var ikke i detaljerne, men i de øjeblikke, man skabte sammen.En: Happiness wasn't in the details but in the moments you create together.Da: Da månen dukkede op på himlen, samlede familien sig om bålet.En: As the moon appeared in the sky, the family gathered around the bonfire.Da: De sang gamle sange og delte historier fra fortiden.En: They sang old songs and shared stories from the past.Da: Mikkel knugede sine søskende ind til sig og vidste nu, hvad der virkelig betød noget.En: Mikkel hugged his siblings close and now knew what truly mattered.Da: Ikke perfektion, men de minder, de skabte sammen.En: Not perfection, but the memories they created together.Da: Familiefesten blev som sommerens blomster - uperfekt og fuld af liv.En: The family party was like the summer flowers - imperfect and full of life.Da: Mikkel lærte at værdsætte disse øjeblikke mere end nogen stive planer, han nogensinde kunne lægge.En: Mikkel learned to appreciate these moments more than any rigid plans he could ever make.
