    Reducing Drama in Your Relationships (Part I-II)

    Episode Details

    Reducing Drama in Your Relationships (Part I-II)

    Date: Nov 25, 2025

    Guests: Kathi Lipp, Cheri Gregory

    When you feel overwhelmed by others this holiday season there are things you can do to find hope. Kathi Lipp and Cheri Gregory talk about how to quiet the chaos and find peace. They share what being overwhelmed by others feels like, how we can “pre-decide” and set boundaries before we interact with family, how to practice self-care, and how to deal with “crisis creators.” They also share how to determine if something is a “big deal” or a “deal breaker.” A final reminder is given that with God’s help you can find peace at the holidays and throughout the year.
