On today’s episode, Dr. Josh Smith returns to discuss the most wonderful time of the year, but also potentially the most challenging, the Hollidays. It’s common to encounter a disparity in who you are versus who you were when going home for the holidays. We talk about how our views of the holidays shift as we move form childhood into adulthood and how expectations change over time.  We talk about: -why people have a favorite holiday -falling into old roles -environment impacting behavior -being a people pleaser -being comfortable with saying no -walking away from relationships -highs and lows of relationships  -sticking with something because it used to be good -you don’t have to settle -give yourself time to think about what you want Time Stamps:  1:00 introduction 4:45 taking on responsibilities 12:06 health dynamics 18:17 being okay with saying no 25:01 gauging your response 33:09 learning to say no 48:05 gaining power from saying no 57:09 relationships and staying 63:45 intermittent reward systems 77:34 looking for the perfect relationship 85:19 changing the “genre” of a relationship 100:46 building a relationship with yourself CONNECT WITH KAIT: IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/ Team LevelUp: https://www.instagram.com/team.levlup/ Email: [email protected] Free FB Community: : https://www.facebook.com/groups/levluptraining TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kaitannmichelle Email List: First Dibs on Freebies and Tips!
