Are you tired of your dysfunctional family hijacking your milestone events with chaos and negativity? This episode is for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) struggling with boundary-setting and dealing with energy vampires. Discover essential mental health strategies to set strong boundaries, protect your peace, and ensure your big day remains drama-free. We discuss how HSPs can navigate family dysfunction, manage manipulative behaviors, and avoid the pitfalls of people-pleasing. Learn how to reclaim control over your special moments and create a celebration free from emotional sabotage. This episode empowers you to take charge of your happiness and well-being.

This week's episode feels like a PSA for People Pleasers. It comes out of the countless times I have held space for clients who's families have absolutely ruined their big days with chaos, negativity, competition, shaming, control issues, demanding their way, manipulation, drama tornados and passive aggressiveness. If you struggle with energy vampires or come from a moderate to severely dysfunctional family, you might want to give this a listen before planning your next big day or celebration.
