Feeling stressed or anxious about the holidays? Between juggling family dynamics and managing tricky relationships, it’s easy to lose your calm. But this year, you don’t have to. 💛

This is part 1 of a 3-part series designed to help you feel empowered, calm, and in control this holiday season.

Psychologist Dr. Deniz shares how YOU can protect your peace emotionally while navigating everything from relatively healthy (but annoying) relationships to those that border on toxic or narcissistic.

Here’s what we cover:

✨ Why healthy relationships don’t mean zero conflict (and what real connection looks like).
✨ How to spot unhealthy patterns like shifting blame, playing the victim, or silent treatment.
✨ Why we normalize behaviors we shouldn’t—and how that holds us back in ALL relationships.
✨ Recognizing emotionally immature behaviors
✨ When to stop waiting for someone to change and start focusing on YOUR peace.
✨ How to emotionally detach (without cutting people off) and find your calm amid the chaos.

You’ll learn to engage in a way that protects your emotional well-being, even in the most triggering moments.

Ready to shift from holiday dread to holiday zen? Tune in now—because you deserve peace, not drama.
