Does your family have lore?

You know—those stories that get told over and over again?

Well, imagine my surprise when one of those familiar childhood stories—one I’ve heard a million times—suddenly made me feel all triggered and uncomfortable. I felt myself getting defensive, my body heating up, and I quickly changed the subject so I could get back to enjoying game night.

But I’ve been thinking about it ever since.

Over the years, I’ve learned that when something triggers me, it’s often a good idea to pay attention. Sometimes, it means there’s something deeper that’s ready to heal.

So I started unpacking it. And I think I’ve figured out why that retelling hit differently this time.

In this episode, I talk about parent-child relationships, the seasons of being a daughter, and how my view of my parents and my childhood has evolved over time.

Maybe you can relate…
