10. The One Where My Dad Talked Sh*t About Me on the Internet

from The Reformed Tired Girls Club Podcast · host Heather Copfer

I skipped Thanksgiving one time and somehow ended up getting dragged on Facebook. So naturally, we're talking about boundaries.In today's episode, we're chatting about what happens when you finally realize you're an adult, you have agency over your life, and you don't actually have to keep putting yourself in situations that are bad for your mental health just because they're "family."I share the story of the time I decided to stop attending family holidays and the very public reaction that followed, and yes, I brought receipts. Plus, we're getting into why boundaries can be so dang hard and how trauma helps explain behavior but absolutely does NOT excuse it.Because your body can't heal in the environment that made it sick in the first place. And sometimes protecting your peace comes with a little (or a lot) of backlash.
