On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it means to find the new ​"right distance​" in ​our relationships​.

Whether ​t​hat's choosing to be ​w​icked close​ to some people - while having to keep a few other humans a little ​bit at arm’s length​.

The thing is, sometimes being all up close and cozy is where it's at - and ​sometimes what we need to do consider is if it makes more sense to go ​"no contact​" for a while.

I share why communication breakdowns, unacknowledged feelings, and old trauma patterns​ can make us rethink how close we can safely be with certain people, including ​our own family.

I also dive into ​setting boundaries without being reactive, ​how we can give ​ourselves space for clarity​ to come through, and ​the willingness to stay open ​(if ​t​hat’s truly right for you) ​f​or the possibility of reconciliation​ and repair​.

​While we often wish for there to be respectful communication and connection with those we care about - sometimes we have to simply walk away with love​. ❤️
