Is being with family a blessing and challenge?  Learn how to negotiate various agendas at play during the holidays.  INTERVIEW: HOW TO CREATE A PEACEFUL HOLIDAY WITH FAMILY? There are many valuable insights that Ragini offers in this show.  A caller asked what to do when you run into a relative that you know hates you and you can never converse with.Listen to hear Raginis advice. With each holiday I experience the insight that Ragini shares in this show.   There are a lot of things happening during holidays.  There are various traditions and a tug of war on which tradition is right.  Each holiday is full of family dynamics and in some cases dysfunction. There are usually unresolved family dynamics and relationships that occur when you were 16 and still exist as a 40 yo.  If no one has done their personal work to resolve these issues, these dynamics continue to be there. Didn’t realize that the holidays were so rich with conflict?  This show will give you a sense of why your holidays are so peaceful, or why you want to leave a day earlier.
