When the lines between love and limits blur, how do we draw the map that guides our families through the terrain of respect and personal space? Come along with me, as I share my heartfelt encounters from the frontlines of motherhood. As a teen mom transformed into a mother of boys with a decade between them, I've seen the boundaries shift under my feet. This episode is an honest narrative of my parenting evolution, a story not just of setting limits but of knowing when to redraw them.

Navigating the emotional labyrinth of family relations often means facing the Minotaur of toxicity, and I'm no stranger to the challenge. I delve into the art of declining favors from those with whom our bonds are frayed and offer a glimpse into my own struggles with distant relatives who pop up only in times of need. We'll laugh at the irony of discovering ancient bones and the dusty, forgotten branches of our family tree, and groove to the beat of "We Are Family," embracing the harmony and discord of our nearest and dearest. Join me in a conversation that celebrates the balance between holding tight and letting go, all within the embrace of family.
