Families. We love them… and sometimes they are the main character in our stress.

In this episode of Girls With Opinions, we’re diving into all things family drama — the patterns, the expectations, the roles we get boxed into, and the unspoken rules we end up breaking just by growing up and becoming our own people.

We talk about everything from boundaries to guilt trips, the “peacekeeper” role, generational habits that need to retire ASAP, and how we’re learning to navigate family dynamics with more honesty, compassion, and sanity.

It’s real, it’s relatable, and it’s a reminder that you’re not the only one who has mentally rehearsed an entire conversation before a family gathering.

💬 In this episode:

• The family roles we never signed up for
• Why guilt shows up when you set boundaries
• How to stay regulated around difficult relatives
• The difference between loyalty and self-abandonment
• Our funniest (and most chaotic) family drama stories

✨ You’ll walk away with:

• A reminder that drama isn’t your responsibility to fix
• Tools to navigate family dynamics without losing yourself
• Validation that family chaos is… extremely normal
