Adulthood is a Project

When Did Families Get So Complicated?


Listen Later

Family relationships feel more complicated than ever… but are they actually, or are we just talking about them differently now?

In this episode, we dive into the pressure parents face to be “perfect,” the new language around trauma and boundaries, and whether we’re too quick to label family relationships as toxic or cut people off completely.

We talk about everything from spanking and changing parenting standards to the challenge of judging the past through today’s lens. Are we giving enough grace to the people who raised us? Can relationships be rebuilt with the person someone is now instead of who they were 20 or 40 years ago?

We’re not saying boundaries don’t matter, because they absolutely do. But maybe the goal isn’t always cutting people off… maybe it’s healing, rebuilding, and figuring out what healthy family relationships look like now.

Because families are messy, people are human, and adulthood? Yeah… it’s still a project. 🎙️🖤
