Let’s be honest: the holidays can bring out the best in people… and the most unhealed version of everyone at the table. You walk in as the adult you’ve worked hard to become and walk out wondering why you just played therapist, peacemaker, or designated scapegoat. In this episode, we get brutally honest about the Drama Triangle — the Victim, Rescuer, and Persecutor roles — and why even the most self-aware adult can get sucked into them around family.
We talk about how your Human Design type gets pulled into old patterns, the somatic cues that signal you’re slipping, and why “no contact” has become the trendy spiritual grenade people throw instead of actually doing their emotional work. And yes, sometimes no contact is necessary — but sometimes it’s just avoidance dressed up as enlightenment.
This episode is your guide to staying out of the old dynamics, not by controlling other people, but by staying connected to yourself. If you want to navigate the season without losing your center, your sanity, or your self-respect, this one’s for you.
