Navigating Your Family Building Journey During the Holidays

The holidays are usually the time when family members and friends you may not have seen throughout the year come together and celebrate. While this season is meant to bring joy, there may be triggers or situations you may find yourself in that could heighten your stress and anxiety. For example, Aunt Fanny’s well intended questions on, “when are you having kids?” or seeing a newborn niece or nephew may be a trigger and put you in a negative headspace. Regardless of the reason, we understand the challenges the holidays may bring. Join us as we dive into how to handle well intended questions, tips on how to prepare yourself for a family gathering, how to avoid and manage triggers, and how to enjoy this time of year.
