Journey with me as I discuss the importance of compassion and understanding while setting boundaries in a parental relationship. I recount a conversation with my dad, sharing my experiences over the years and the reasons for my distance. Despite his defensiveness, I managed to stay grounded and reconnect with my own needs. This was a critical moment of healing and self-realization for me.

In the final chapter of this episode, I explore how I set boundaries with my father and did so with kindness and compassion. I reflect on the importance of having an honest conversation and the significance of understanding human nature. By the end of this episode, I hope to leave you with an understanding of the complexities of familial relationships, the importance of self-care and the courage to confront and address challenging situations. Tune in for an episode full of personal revelations, healing conversations, and heartfelt moments.
