In this episode of 50ish & Fab: The Hot Flash Report, we’re throwing on our gold hoops and stepping into the beautiful chaos called family — but this time, without the guilt trip.

Inspired by the classic Sister Sledge hit, “We Are Family,” host KC Sonshine keeps it all the way real about family conflict, the unspoken pressure to “keep the peace,” and how Black women, in particular, often end up playing the emotional glue (and the clean-up crew) for everybody else’s mess.

We’re talking:

-How to set boundaries without becoming the villain

-Why other people’s dysfunction ain’t your assignment

-The difference between honoring family and losing yourself in it

-Practical ways to love folks... from a healthy distance

You don’t have to carry what’s not yours — even if it’s labeled “family tradition.”

If you're tired of dodging drama at every cookout and being the default therapist with no license, this one’s for you. 

Hit play, grab your peace, and let’s unlearn the guilt — one boundary at a time. Because family doesn’t mean losing yourself to keep everyone else comfortable.
