So many of us spend years, sometimes a lifetime, chasing love, validation, or approval from family members who will never give it.

In this episode, we talk about how to see the pattern for what it is, why it’s so hard to stop, and what it really takes to walk away from the chase.

In this episode, we will cover:

🍏 Why we keep returning to toxic or emotionally unavailable relatives, even when we know it hurts

🍏The signs you’re stuck in a cycle of seeking approval that will never come.

🍏The first steps to break free from this exhausting pattern

🍏How to navigate the guilt, grief, and pushback that can come with setting boundaries

🍏Healthy ways to meet your emotional needs without family validation

🍏The most freeing truth about letting go of the love you’ll never get
