I'll send your Zoom link and a reminder before we begin.
What you told me this weekend
I asked where you are with the holidays and your mother or daughter.

In our hour together
The holidays rarely go wrong at the table. They go wrong in the weeks before.
one
Where bracing really begins
The rehearsing, the guarding, the text you rewrite four times before you send it. And why it starts long before anyone sits down.
two
What she feels when you brace
We go quiet, try too hard, or avoid. She feels it as pressure, not love, and pulls back. Then we take her distance as proof we were right to brace.
three
How to walk in steady
What to do in the next three weeks so you can walk in as someone she doesn't have to protect herself from.
This hour is for you if
You love her, and you're already holding your breath.
- She hasn't answered yet about holiday plans
- You already know which comment will land wrong
- Things have been short and polite between you for months
- You're not sure you'll see her at all this year
- You're hoping this season can feel different, and don't know how to make it
Come as you are. Hoping, bracing, or somewhere in between.
