Ever feel like your parent is pushing your buttons? I get it—I used to feel exactly the same way with my mom. In this episode, I’m spilling the tea on how I turned an overbearing, stressful relationship into something healthier, loving, and unattached. We'll explore the reasons behind these behaviors, often rooted in self-protection and passed-down patterns. We’ll also talk about boundaries, your relationship with yourself, and finding peace with the people who you care about most.
If you've been a fan of this episode, I'd APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH if you can help leave me a ️️️️️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5-star rating and review.
This will really help more people discover the podcast and get these topics in the hands of those who need them.
Thank you so much in advance!!!
