Do you dread those family dinners where everyone has an opinion about what you should be doing?
Last week a Holiday Sanity Seeker asked:
How in the world do you deal with family members who keep making lame suggestions about my business? They're treating me like I'm not capable of doing this myself!
Ugh. I know, this is totally annoying and wish I had a magic wand that I could wave over all family members so they'd just be supportive of your venture!
However, the fact is, we can't do anything to change what someone else says. You can absolutely ask them to back off, but they're unlikely to be able to stop themselves.
You can't change your family, but you can change how you receive it.
In this week's video I share my favorite thing to do when someone gives unsolicited advice.

Just remember one thing:
What a person says is about them, not about you.
Remembering that whatever someone says is about THEM and not YOU is not easy, but I hope it helps you navigate the holidays!
