Welcome to TKOL Podcast.. I'm Aaron Tosti.
A while back a good friend of mine said I should write a book called "The kind of love I'm getting I don't want, and the kind of love I want I ain't getting." an autobiography of weird love stories... so I made it into a podcast.
Not only to share my stories, but other peoples stories... maybe even yours.
Love gets weird some times right ? ...tell me about it

Jenny & Aaron’s intro…
This is a special episode with a special guest and co host, Jenny Rain to talk about our Holiday Workshop.
We hope to spread some cheer.
Jenny is all about spreading cheer.
The workshop was called “Deck the Halls, Not Your Family” and it was a lot of fun.
It’s all about learning how to love your friends and family during the holidays when relationship patterns show back up.
This was the 2nd annual workshop and we had some different things that came up for people.
There was a lot of problems we discussed.
 
The top 5 problems we talked about …
Dealing with the pressure of being in soooo many places at once & ending up exhausted after the holidays!!!
Having a lack of meaningful connections and quality time and people don’t think about that until they show up.
OLD stubborn patterns on repeat like…
Feeling guilty when we speak up
Feeling less than by certain friends/family members
Or family holding us to the 11 year old versions of ourselves
Attitudes from in-laws that we have to navigate. When you’re inlays become out-laws
People become resentful for carrying TOO much responsibility for having to do ALL the holiday preparations & not having support
 
Aaron was also talking with a client about how to co-parent during the holidays.
We covered 3 keys for a stress free holiday…
Don’t Deck, Connect
Master Courageous Communication
Unleash Invincible Boundaries
 
It’s amazing how people go back and boundaries become the overwhelming elephant in the room.
Aaron mentions that Jenny talks not only about personal boundaries but time and environment boundaries.
There’s a lot of good stuff.
Enjoy the Holiday Laughs.

We like to start the workshop off with our favorite Ram Dass Quote…
“If you think you’re enlightened, go spend a week with your family.”
Family is a great revealer of all of the shadow work.
