Episode 7: Family Pressure or Family Peace
Ever feel like your parents just don’t listen or that the rules at home don’t make sense? In this episode, John, Susan, and Brayden unpack how different parenting styles—especially the strict, no-discussion kind—can lead to frustration, emotional shutdowns, and blowups.
You’ll hear:
-
The difference between authoritative and authoritarian parenting
-
How to use “I feel” statements instead of silent anger
-
Why family power struggles happen—and how to handle them better
-
Brayden’s personal take on feeling unheard (and what he’s doing about it)
Plus, there’s a free worksheet to help you reflect on how your home environment affects your emotions—and how to speak up without blowing up.
This episode is all about finding your voice, even when the rules feel unfair.
