Description

Over the holidays, families can connect with one another in more ways than just gathering around the table. Quality time provides countless opportunities for meaningful interaction and shared experiences beyond the traditional family meal. This week, we turn to a family studies expert for some advice on how to make a family gathering more fulfilling. Even when tensions run high, there are practical tools for both hosts and guests to manage expectations, set intentions, and know when to step back.


We’ll talk with Dr. Jessica Troilo about how small shifts in mindset and behavior can help families build stronger, more joyful holiday experiences. She teaches that families don’t have to be perfect, but they should strive to be flexible, emotionally connected, and resilient.
