#141: How to Deal with Difficult Family Members - a podcast by Mary Jelkovsky

I’m convinced that everyone has at least ONE difficult family member (if not, it might be you 🤪). Family can bring up a lot for us emotionally which is why today we’re talking about how to deal those triggers in a healthy way.

You will learn…

• 5 questions to ask yourself BEFORE setting boundaries



• how to use self-awareness and emotional intelligence with your family



• my 5-step process for approaching difficult conversations

Remember: people often project their own insecurities not because they’re malicious, but because it’s easier to direct energy outward than it is to reflect inward. 🎤
