#68 - Navigating Post-Election Conversations

Conversations from the Heart

Are you worried about Thanksgiving dinner conversations with family members who voted differently than you? In this week's episode, we listen to a conversation with Suzanne, who is trying to navigate issues of duty and connection with family members who don't share her values.
We discuss:

• 1:39 How do I explain to my family that I can't talk to them?
• 4:55 Working with the concept of duty
• 9:48 Developing boundaries around our relational terms of engagement
• 15:32 What needs are met when I reach out?
• 18:19 The difference between the public self and the private self/fitting in vs. belonging
• 27:15 What makes taking the next step in personal growth easier
• 31:14 Closing thoughts
