Navigating In-Law Relationships without Losing Your Peace
🎧 Episode Summary:
The holidays are a time for connection but for many couples, they also bring stress, especially when it comes to navigating in-law relationships. In this episode, Keana W. Mitchell, trauma-informed relationship coach and emotional strategist, explores how to maintain your peace, protect your partnership, and set healthy boundaries with in-laws during the holiday season.
You’ll learn how unresolved family dynamics, emotional expectations, and generational patterns can resurface during this time and how to respond with clarity, compassion, and confidence. Keana introduces the powerful Let Them Theory popularized by Mel Robbins and offers a deeper lens: Let Them… Let Me. This mindset shift helps you release control, reclaim your emotional space, and choose peace over performance.
