Here's The Thing: A Beginner's Guide to Adulting

Ep.54 Family Relationships


Listen Later

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I want to talk about a different kind of love—the kind that exists in families.


Family relationships can be complicated. We don’t get to choose our teammates, and many of us grew up on very different “teams” with different coaching styles, roles, and expectations. As adults, though, those relationships don’t have to stay the same.


In this episode, I use a simple sports-team analogy to help you think differently about your family dynamics. We’ll talk about how family roles change in adulthood, how to focus on what you can control, and how to show up with more clarity, calm, and intention in relationships with parents and siblings.


You’ll learn how to:

  • Redefine your role in your family without waiting for anyone else to change
  • Improve communication with parents and siblings as a young adult
  • Build healthier family relationships by changing your thoughts, not just your reactions
  • Practice a more grounded, emotionally mature kind of love


Family love isn’t always chocolates and flowers. Sometimes it looks like boundaries, consistency, and choosing how you show up—even when the dynamic isn’t perfect.


Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy the episode. 💛
