#66 - She Changed Her Niece’s Name… Was That Wrong?

This week, we’re talking about a guardian who changed her niece’s name from Synnamin to Simone and whether that decision was protection or overstepping. We unpack baby name consequences, family dynamics, identity, long-term impact, and what happens when adults make decisions that follow kids into the future. We also get into whether you should tell on a cheating family member, how “I love that for you” can sometimes be subtle shade, and why adult accountability gets complicated when loyalty is involved. If you’ve ever questioned parenting choices, struggled with boundaries inside your family, or wondered how much responsibility we carry for other people’s decisions, this episode will help you think through it without feeling alone. It’s honest, layered, and exactly what adulthood conversations should sound like. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow the podcast everywhere you listen.
