Family in the Fray is hosted by Heather 'Holiday' Holton, targeted parent and adult survivor of parental alienation. As you know, being a targeted parent is hard, I get it. Listen as I unpack the raw, real, nitty-gritty of it. And if you crave insight and new perspective on this painful experience, then join me for my real life stories, what I have learned along the way, gain new perspective, learn tips, tools, and hacks. Allow me to introduce you to "the work" feeling less like work.

Holiday hangovers are not just for those who drink, but those who feel. If things went really well or very poorly, you likely have some emotional residue in processing it.
Plus, you survived another holiday and that calls for celebration. Give your brain a dopamine hit for making it through the holiday gauntlet.

With this busy holiday weekend and an epic weather system moving in, this week's challenge is to keep calm*er* and collect data. Being a data collector keeps your frontal cortex engaged and you are less likely to be triggered. Imagine holidays minus being triggered.
