Don't lose you to them.

In nine years of coaching out of every five clients one is dealing with this issue. Either their in laws, close family or their parents. But this is an on going issue and if not addressed we tend to lose who we really are, and allow the protective part of us to emerge in rough or hostile situations.

The secret to really getting through family drama is to make sure you are not the drama. that you do not become the drama.

Family has a god given gift to know how to push your every button. But so often we go down that slippery slope because we have no idea who were are to begin with.

We have no idea what we will tolerate. What we will not tolerate. And with no barriers there is a lack of respect. 

Dont let sharp words cut you down. Learn how to drown them out. Walk away with a respect for yourself. And whether they say it or not, they too will eventually respect you. 

So once again, grab a shot of coffee and you listen and raise to be who you are. 

Much love,

Shazmeen.
