I was already thinking about change after experiencing the HUGE difference in my home and in my stress-levels this Thanksgiving compared to ones I hosted before I started my deslobification process. Then I got a question about whether “we” can actually change. Those of us who naturally struggle with this stuff. So I added in talk about that as well.

Hi – long time listener, first time commenter here: My family seems surprised every time I have a little freak out before dinner, as we host most holidays. So it went on Thanksgiving again this year – making sure the house is clean and all the prep going in for dinner for 13 is a bit much for me, but so it goes. My husband helps to cook, and some guests brought major food, but still! Thanks for reminding me that my stress is normal – even though the looks I get from my family may have lead me to think otherwise. And re sponsors – I use Carbona bc of this Podcast. You do a great job with your podcast – thank you!
Dana,
Thank you so much for your blog and your podcasts, where you graciously and humorously share your experience(s), as well as the work of figuring out ‘how your brain works.’ This has helped, and continues to help, SO many of us figure out OUR brains, too.
*When you quoted one of your kids…
“Have you SEEN what we can do to this place in a week?!”
… it really DID make me ‘laugh out loud,’ and my dogs MIGHT have wondered what was going on. ; )
(side-note: I do love how your whole family seems to share your sense of humor and also your theatrical flair.) 8 )
I began typing this comment while I was l listening to this episode, and again laughed (out loud) AND mentally applauded when you began to talk about your dogs in their crates…IN your bedroom…AND that you were able to allow your SIL IN your room to meet Cinder!! Totally understand what a huge step that was, as someone who has read your blog ‘backwards’ from the beginning. Great job!
*sorry for the long comment, but one more thing. Very grateful for what you were saying towards the end, about family/husbands/wives loving and accepting one another, even while getting annoyed/irritated about a particular trait, habit, etc. Timely (and good) reminder.
Dana, this was SUCH a good episode! I think I skipped over this one when it first came out, but I think it’s one of my favorites now. Thank you for your humor and your widsom.
