And everything that you're going to learn is going to apply to absolutely everything related to family, whether it's the family group text chat that drives you bananas or that you wish was slightly different, whether it's the dynamic when you all get together, whether it is things that's happened in the past that you can't just let go, whatever it is that's standing in your way or causing frustration or that you just wish would change.

And I'm going to teach you how you can start to bring it. So my mission today in having this conversation with you is to really help you improve your relationship with your family. Because let's start with fact number one, your family's not changing. They are who they are. You've got to learn how to let them be who they are. But here's the cool thing. If you change your approach in terms of how you show up, the energy you bring, your mindset around your family, you are so powerful that simply changing your approach can send positive ripples through the entire family dynamic. And that will change everything over time. It's your responsibility to figure out what kind of relationship you have with your family.
