Remember Who(se) You Are: Confront Fear, Walk Boldly in Purpose

Avoiding Holiday Pressure and Maintaining Peace in the Season (Part 2)

Episode Summary

This episode equips you to walk into the New Year prepared, grounded, and at peace. In Part 2, you are given tools and the spiritual depth, including exactly what to say in every difficult holiday situation—word-for-word boundary scripts you can use immediately. You'll create your personal peace plan with exit strategies, support systems, and reset tools. But more importantly, you'll learn how to anchor yourself in God's peace—the kind Jesus offers that doesn't depend on your family's behavior or perfect circumstances.

Episode Notes

• Boundary Scripts for Every Situation - Get exact phrases for time boundaries, topic boundaries, criticism, emotional labor demands, and guilt trips. Practice them until they feel natural.
• Your 5-Step Peace Plan - Know your non-negotiables, prep your scripts, identify your exit strategy, build your support system, and plan your reset tools before every event.
• Exit Strategies That Work - Create soft exits, firm exits, and partner code words so you can leave when you need to without drama.
• Guilt is Normal - If you've been managing everyone's emotions for years, boundaries will feel selfish at first. That doesn't mean you're doing it wrong—it means you're doing something different.
• Anchored in God's Peace - Jesus offers peace that doesn't depend on circumstances. Before events, surrender outcomes to God. During events, breathe and pray "Jesus, Your peace." After events, release it and don't replay endlessly.
