Send us Fan Mail We spent an entire year investing in friendships that led us nowhere. These friendships did not contribute to our personal growth but instead held us back. It's time to let go of these stagnant relationships and focus on building connections that inspire and challenge us to become the best version of ourselves.. We can't grow with these kinds of friendships. https://www....

Send us Fan Mail The holiday season has a way of making us feel lonely for different reasons. But we must remember that we are in control of our emotions and should not let them take us to a dark place. Instead, let's take charge and keep pushing forward. Whenever you feel that something is off, remember that you have the power to act and make things better. https://www.instagram.com/traceyla...

Send us Fan Mail You prepare eagerly for Thanksgiving, investing time and effort in September and October, only to encounter the same dysfunctional family dynamics. You end up playing the roles of a chauffeur, an errand runner, and a shopping assistant for them spending your money.  https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Yes, we all have those family members in our immediate family looking for us to come home from out of state for the holidays to take them shopping. They have the sale paper in hand with checkmarks for the things they want you to buy for them. Tell them you value your time with them during the holidays but you are on a budget. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail We all have that one relative on the hunt to have their questions answered about our personal lives.  Here are some ways to keep your answers light and funny.  https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail It's natural to feel let down if the ring was something you were eagerly anticipating, especially since you both discussed taking this step this year, and you've been waiting for it to take things to the next level. It's important to know if he was being honest with you or just stalling for time, with no intention of ever proposing. https://www.instagram.com/traceyl...

Send us Fan Mail This can be tough if you allow it. But if you relax and plan, this can be a time to get to know the child and start to build a bond between you, too. It's obvious Dad is taking his relationship with you seriously or he wouldn't be introducing you to his child. So, start now building that relationship.  https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Hey, y'all, yes, I said y'all.  I had so much fun reading the questions. The majority of you started new relationships in October and wanted to know about the dos and don'ts to do about the Thanksgiving Holiday. I know y'all already knew the answers, but it was fun that you all involved little old me to see if we were on the same page. Tracy Laury (@traceylau99...

Send us Fan Mail It is important to prioritize maintaining a healthy and happy relationship with your partner during the holiday season. This requires both of you to be understanding, considerate, and communicative. Don't let the opinions or actions of your in-laws cause unnecessary arguments between you and your partner.

Send us Fan Mail Women, it's time to stop the negative self-talk. You deserve to be kind and gentle with yourself. Remember that your words have power, and how you speak to yourself sets the tone for how others will treat you.

Send us Fan Mail Short-term holiday relationships usually refer to romantic relationships or flings that are formed during the holiday season and are not expected to continue beyond that time.

Send us Fan Mail I feel just because a person is getting older doesn't mean we should let the things we are looking for in a partner go.  We should all have a preference and hold on to what we want in a person and relationship.  https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail In a codependent relationship, you become so focused on pleasing your partner that you forget about your own needs and desires. You may begin to believe that your self-worth is directly tied to your partner's happiness, and you may find yourself overly affected by their emotions. It's almost as if you and your partner have merged into one entity, making it difficult to d...

Send us Fan Mail It doesn't mean you're ignoring your spouse. It means you still have your friends and don't expect your partner to be everything to you just because you're married. Your marriage adds to your life, but it doesn't have to be your entire life. You're still your own person with your own interests and connections outside of your marriage. It's about...

Send us Fan Mail There are many reasons a marriage is happy and striving. It begins with you and your partner; what do you want to add or take away to have a long and lasting marriage? I don't believe marriage is hard work; that myth is farther from the truth, pleasing each other isn't work. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show
