Ep. 125: Dealing with Holiday Obligations

The holidays are the “most wonderful time of the year,” but for most of us, there is nothing more stress inducing than the thought of going home or spending the tons of money holidays usually mean. Obligation rules supreme this time of year; many of us feel stuck doing things we would never choose for ourselves. Luckily for us, Danny has become an expert on putting her own holiday needs first. She uses The Four Tendencies to help you analyze your own holiday misgivings, and how best to deal with them.
