In this episode, I explore how growing up with parents who have borderline or narcissistic personality disorders impacts the way we handle political and family stressors. With the holidays quickly approaching, I unpack why these events can feel so overwhelming and how past experiences play a part in our current stress.

Using the power and control wheel, I break down the cycle of narcissistic abuse and how that is more relevant than ever now. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I share practical tips to help you assess your emotional readiness, set boundaries with toxic family members, and prioritize your mental health.
