How to Navigate Family During the Holida...

About this episode

In the last part of our Who Run the Holidays series, we talk all about how to manage family dynamics during the holiday season - or as we like to call it: the official guide to your family offsite. Whether you are the one visiting family or if family is coming to see you, we breakdown how to manage expectations, guarantee alone time and make sure you also jump in to family holiday tradition with both feet. Rhea and Marilyn also have an episode-long debate on the term “tips and tricks.”

We’d also love to hear from you! How do you navigate your family dynamics during the holiday? What are some of your favorite holiday traditions? Write to us on sayhi@whoruntheworldpodcast.com or on Instagram @whoruntheworldpod. 

 As always, we would love it for you to find it in your hearts to donate to one of these causes in Lebanon, as the country is going through a crippling economic crisis. Every little bit counts.
