How to Handle the Holidays…Braver Angels style!

**Local Focus: Minnesota

The holidays, once a time for warmth and connection, have increasingly become battlegrounds for political tension, with close quarters and family gatherings amplifying deep divides. As our political climate grows more toxic, family relationships are becoming unintended casualties—longstanding bonds strained or even severed by heated arguments or uncomfortable silences. Some relatives clash openly, while others withdraw entirely to avoid conflict.

If you desire to keep meaningful connections, this offers you a lifeline. You’ll gain insight into why political differences within families are so emotionally charged, learn to recognize and develop tools to navigate these moments with greater ease. While the focus is on family, the skills you’ll take away apply to any close relationship—and yes, there will be laughter too. Because let’s face it, every family has its quirks.
