Workshop: Safe People

Workshop: A Real Apology

This week's workshop is all about a real apology. Part of becoming a safe person within your relationships is owning your actions, words, and feelings. A step we had to make within our own relationships was taking ownership for our past mistakes. Although apologizing can be hard, we break down the steps it takes to make an apology stick. For us, a real apology ultimately lead to inner peace and healing within our family. Listen as we discuss how important this step was for our relationship.

Workshop: Safe People

In this episode we discuss our journey to becoming safe people. Relationships are messy, and ours is no exception. We dicuss generational trauma from emotional abuse regarding eating and weight managment. Although intentions were helpful, we share the hurt and impact it had long-term. This is the messiest part of our relationships, and in an effort of full transparency we share the hard parts, the hard truths, and most importantly the hard road to saving and healing our relationship.

Workshop: Boundaries

In this episode we explore the necessity of boundaries. Boundaries are important for all relationships. We need them in order to protect ourselves and others. But what should we do if someone crosses them? Listen as we discuss benefits and consequences of boundaries, and provide tools for establishing boundaries in your family relationships.
