How do we stay connected to ourselves - and to others - when our nervous systems are screaming, our inner critics are loud, and old family patterns are tugging us backward?

In this episode, we examine:

• 2:03 I'm struggling in my relationship with my sister.  Why does my body still react to conflict even when my mind knows I'm safe now?
• 7:19 A new, empowering take on going "no contact" (it's not a rejection - it's a reset)
• 13:51 A practical way to set new terms of engagement in relationships that matter, but hurt
• 20:37 I want to set an intention with my family.  How can I best interact with them?
• 29:44 I'm in a place of transition, how can I best connect with myself?
• 50:33 How can I tell if the resistance I'm feeling needs to be worked through or if I need to switch course?
• 55:25 Closing thoughts
