Your family could literally be the family you create.
The holiday season is often painted as a time of joy and togetherness, but what if your family gatherings bring more stress than cheer? In this episode of The Shiftshow with Adriana Bucci, Adriana dives into the tough topic of dealing with toxic family members during the holidays.
Drawing from her own experiences as a survivor of narcissistic abuse, she offers a fresh perspective on why it's perfectly okay to say 'no' to spending time with those who drain your energy and happiness. Adriana encourages listeners to release any guilt they might feel about skipping family events that are harmful to their mental well-being. She shares personal anecdotes and practical advice on setting boundaries, recognizing manipulation, and prioritizing your own peace.
One key takeaway is the concept of a 'chosen family'—friends or individuals who offer genuine support and love, proving that family isn't just about blood relations. By tuning in, you'll gain valuable insights into how to protect your mental health during what can be a challenging time of year. Adriana's empathetic approach makes it clear that you're not alone in your feelings and that you have the power to choose who you spend your time with.
So, if you're dreading the holiday season because of toxic family dynamics, this episode might just be the lifeline you need to reclaim your joy and sanity.
