How to Survive the Holidays with a Toxic Parent (Without Losing Your Sanity)
Description
If you’ve ever felt the mix of dread, guilt, and anxiety that shows up the second someone mentions “family holidays,” this episode will help you slow down, get perspective, and actually prepare—not just survive.
Torie breaks down:
Why so many adult children of toxic parents procrastinate holiday planning (and how that backfires)
How to build new holiday traditions that your family can’t ruin
Why your “holiday pie” needs more slices that have nothing to do with your family
How to set yourself up for a season that’s calmer, more grounded, and actually yours
