Licensed Therapist Mary Beth Somich joins Kristie and Felicia to demystify the concept of enmeshment in families, especially between mothers and sons. They look at what enmeshment actually means (hint: blurred boundaries and no space for individuality), where it comes from, and why it’s so tough to break free from.

Some takeaways:

• How enmeshment manifests in real life
• The effects of enmeshment on adult romantic and family relationships
• Why setting boundaries can often feel like “rocking the boat”
• How to shift to healthy connections without cutting ties
