One registration is enough for both spouses.

The holidays can bring more than family together.

They can also bring old expectations, family dynamics, stress, and emotions to the surface in ways you didn’t expect.

Suddenly, you’re arguing about where to spend the holiday.

One of you feels pulled between your spouse and your family.

Someone makes a comment and your spouse reacts in a way you don’t understand.

Or the two of you simply find yourselves more sensitive, frustrated, or disconnected than usual.

Often, what looks like a disagreement about the holidays has something deeper happening underneath it.

When you understand what’s being stirred up, it becomes much easier to respond to each other differently.

That’s what I’m going to help you do in this masterclass.

What You’ll Learn

01

The Holiday Trigger Map

Recognize the situations most likely to create tension between you and why certain moments can feel much bigger than they seem.

02

Old Roles, New Reactions

Understand why being around family can bring old emotions, expectations, and ways of responding back to the surface, even years later.

03

Why You React So Differently Under Stress

Discover why one of you may want to talk while the other needs space, why one becomes more emotional while the other shuts down, and how attachment can help explain what happens between you.

04

The Same-Team Plan

Learn practical ways to talk about family, expectations, boundaries, and what each of you needs before you’re in the middle of a stressful moment.

The goal isn’t a perfect holiday.

It’s knowing how to find each other when things aren’t perfect.

You can’t control every relative.

You can’t prevent every awkward conversation.

You can’t make everyone happy.

But you can understand each other better.

You can prepare for the situations that usually create tension.

And you can walk into the season knowing how to protect the connection between you.

This Masterclass Is For You If...

  • ✓You want the holidays to feel more peaceful and connected this year.
  • ✓You want to understand why one or both of you react more strongly around family.
  • ✓You struggle with different expectations about traditions, schedules, money, children, or extended family.
  • ✓You want to stop letting outside stress turn into tension between the two of you.
  • ✓Or you simply want to go into the holidays feeling more prepared and more like a team.

And if your spouse can’t attend with you, come anyway. There is plenty you can learn about your own responses and how you can begin showing up differently.
