013 - The True Definition of Family
Manage episode 291707081 series 2862340
Learning to set boundaries with your blood relatives is really hard.
These are the people you’ve likely spent the most time around for most of your life. They are the most familiar to you, and they seemingly know you the best. They are the people who can love you the most—
—until that love becomes toxic.
Sometimes, in our family systems, we are told to tolerate their toxic behavior “because they are family and family is forever.”
But imagine the same act done by a significant other, boss, or friend. Would that behavior be acceptable? Likely not. So why do we allow family to treat us like this?
Generations of unhealthy communication, abuse, mental disorders, etc. pass on and on. Until one person in the familial chain breaks the cycle to then build upon their own family.
And that person sets boundaries, speaks their truth, and embodies their own power in spite of the family trying to convince them not to.
In this week’s podcast episode, I talk all about my blood family and my chosen family. I share how I’ve grown in myself from setting strict boundaries with my blood family and how I look to shape the family of my own in present day. 💜💙
It certainly wasn’t easy to do this, but it was very important work as I look to build my self-worth and unconditionally love myself. Nothing is getting in the way of that for me—even family.
I encourage you to always put yourself first. 💜💙
