Today, we’re tackling a topic that so many of you have written to me about—family. More specifically, how to deal with family members who just don’t understand or support the changes you’re making in your life.
Maybe you’re stepping into a new chapter—pursuing a dream you’ve put on hold, setting boundaries that weren’t there before, or simply making choices that put your happiness first. And suddenly, people who were supposed to be your biggest cheerleaders… aren’t. They question you. They resist. They might even make you feel guilty.
If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. And let me remind you of something right now: You do not need permission to evolve. Your growth, your happiness, your next chapter—it’s yours to claim, whether they understand it or not.
And today, we’re going to talk about exactly how to navigate these situations, so you can move forward without guilt, resentment, or constant conflict. Plus, I have a super helpful communication script for you—a way to set boundaries with confidence and grace.
