A wedding is supposed to celebrate the couple-but what happens when the entire family starts acting like they bought a seat on the planning committee? From guest lists and wedding traditions to money and unsolicited opinions, Thyra and Thora tackle the question: How much family involvement is actually appropriate?

Because yes, family can help. They can contribute. They can celebrate. But honey...they don't get to take over.

Your mother has a guest list. Your mother-in-law has a menu. Your sister has opinons about the bridesmaids. Honey.. are YOU getting married, or is your entire family?

*If everyone else is making the wedding decisions... what exactly are YOU doing there? 😂⚡

... The Conversation Nobody Wants to Have

Think your friends are the problem? Before you send that angry text, block somebody, or start another group chat called “Can You Believe Her?”… you might want to look in the mirror.

In this episode, Thera gets real—and a little ruthless—about the habits that can turn a good friend into a toxic one. From “brutal honesty” and emotional scorekeeping to jealousy, control, and the dreaded inability to say “I was wrong,” we're having the conversation nobody wants to have.

Because sometimes you don't need a new friend.

You need a new approach to friendship.

“Honey… before you blame another friend for walking away, ask yourself one uncomfortable question: Did they leave because they're toxic—or because they're finally tired of dealing with you?”

There is nothing wrong with loving your son-but when does a close mother-son relationship become too close?

In this episode of Dear Thyra: Real Advice for Weathered Women, Tammy tackles the uncomfortable topic of boundaries between mothers, adult sons, and marriage. From constant phone calls and surprise visits to mothers who expect to know everything happening in their son's life, we're talking about what happens when Mom has trouble letting go.

Because loving your adult child doesn't mean you get unlimited access to their marriage.

And wives? This episode has something for you too.

Grab your coffee, because honey...we're going there.

*Ladies, I'm about to say something that might make a few people uncomfortable...

Your adult son is not your husband.

You can love him, call him, check on him, feed him Sunday dinner. But if you need to know where he is, what he's doing, what his wife said, what they're arguing about, and why he didn't answer your third phone call today...

Honey, we need to talk.

Because when your son gets married, Mom doesn't get replaced...

but the boundaries absolutely need to change.

And if you're already clutching your pearls?

Oh, you're definitely going to want to hear this episode.⚡

Introduction to 'Dear Thyra'...

Tammy Figgs introduces the show and the women it's made for-women who've loved, lost, learned, messed up, started over, and lived through some weather. Expect honest advice, real-life stories, humor, and the occasional loving dose of "Girl, no."

If you've ever looked at your life and thought, "How the hell did I get here?-honey, pull up a chair.

You've made mistakes. You've survived heartbreak. You've raised kids, dealt with family drama, lost friends, started over, and probably tolerated some things way longer than you should have.

You're weathered. You're not broken.

And around here, we're going to talk about all of it-with honesty, humor, and absolutely no sugarcoating,.

Welcome to Dear Thyra⚡

You love your family-but does that mean they get unlimited access to your choices, your relationships, your money, and your life? In this episode of Dear Thyra, we talk about why boundaries aren't disrespectful and why "we're family" isn't an excuse to say whatever you want.

Let me tell you something: being family does NOT give you unlimited access to my life.

If your family has an opinion about your money, your relationships, your parenting, what you eat, where you go, and who you spend your time with...

Honey, that's not concern. That's surveillance.

And when you finally say, "Please respect my boundary," they hit you with: "But, we're family!"

Exactly. Which is why you should love me enough to respect it.
