This week's episode focuses on how to navigate complex family dynamics - especially when what has previously worked is no longer sustainable.
A common theme on this week's podcast is the importance of checking for alignment. If we're aligned in our needs and our wishes, then designing strategies to meet our goals is easier.
In question number one, a caller is rediscovering his sense of self and discovering the language needed in order to set new boundaries around old family dynamics.
Today's second caller longs for a deeper relationship with his adult son and we explore strategies to reconnect with someone who's choosing to stay distant.
If you're struggling with how to align with family members and reclaim your own boundaries and values in complex family dynamics, then this episode is for you!
We explore:
- 2:08 How do I stay true to what I need and stay connected with my family?
- 6:23 Avoid parenting your spouse.
- 9:48 "I had this delusion that my flexibility was building up some kind of credit."
- 15:20 A script to help check for alignment of family goals
- 24:34 How to pick up what the other person is saying so they feel heard

- 36:53 There's no such thing as a bad parent
