In this episode, I’m unpacking the messy, tender, complicated truth about family- the stories we inherit, the wounds we carry, and the way time has a funny way of softening what once felt so sharp. I share how much of our family experience is shaped not by what’s said, but by everything we never talk about… the pauses, the assumptions, the myths we quietly accept as truth. And then sometimes, years later, in the most unexpected places- a cabin, a car ride, a holiday kitchen- we finally say the thing we avoided. And suddenly, healing becomes possible. This is a conversation about seeing old stories with new eyes, understanding the emotional layers we’ve been tiptoeing around, and discovering how connection grows when we stop pretending everything is fine and start speaking from the heart.

Key Takeaways:

• The unspoken parts of family life often shape us more deeply than the words themselves.
• Real healing begins when we finally express the feelings we’ve held for years.
• When we allow space for honest communication, even old wounds can find new light.
