Sharon Martin joins us to discuss strategies for protecting your peace of mind when family members bring negative energy to your gatherings. Sharon Martin is an emotional wellness speaker, a writer, and a licensed psychotherapist based in San Jose. She has developed an online class called “Handling the Holidays.”
