Today Chelsey and I are having a really honest conversation about something that a lot of people carry heavy on their hearts: What happens when we realize that staying tied to old family patterns - especially with our parents - means staying small, staying stuck, or staying in pain? Our conversation today will focus on Chelsey’s journey and the necessary severing of the relationship with her mother. And I use the word necessary very intentionally here. Because sometimes, preserving your own spirit, your own growth, requires stepping away. We want to explore that tension between honouring where we come from - the lineage, the people who shaped us - and also being brave enough to say: 'I’m not here to protect old beliefs or repeat patterns that hurt me. I’m here to grow, to evolve, and to pave something healthier for the next generation.'

Are we supposed to protect our parents’ beliefs? The blood is thicker than water story line runs deep in us and we can often prioritize affirming and letting our parents be comfortable and safe in story lines that do not allow us to step into our growth, the evolution of our kids. Are we buying into the past, or investing in the future? How do we create boundaries that are both loving and firm enough to hold the growth we need, without staying chained to systems that harm us - even if those systems wear the familiar face of family?

It’s a radical act to build boundaries that protect your present and your becoming, even if it means not honouring traditions that kept generations before you small. Honoring where we come from doesn’t mean we have to repeat it. And maybe that’s the heart of it: we can bless the path that brought us here, without agreeing to walk it forever. If this resonated with you please share.
