Loyalty and obligation at the holidays part 2: With more freedom, comes more murkiness.

The holidays highlight loyalty binds. 

Tell me: How are you navigating questions like this and would you like me to share some more thoughts around obligation, belonging, and multiple family structures in the coming days?

Continuing the conversation from yesterday’s podcast: parenting ourselves can be a powerful part of repair.

Watch the podcast on YouTube or Subscribe on Substack for bonus content.

The recipes we make are one way we bring the generations of our village together, or bring parts of our history to share with new connections, or learn anew to begin new traditions. 

Tell me: Is there something special you'll be making or looking forward to eating today? Who does it remind you of?

And if you're part of my community on Substack, tomorrow I'll share the recipe I hope to pass down there.

Are you celebrating the holidays differently this year?

In this week's classic session of the podcast, a husband and wife are united in their desire to help their daughter, two years after she suffered a breakdown and moved home, shutting herself off from her family and friends. 

Have you listened?

On this week's episode of the podcast, I speak with someone who's reeling from a relationship that brought both deep love and deep betrayal. 

After discovering that her boyfriend had been lying about the terms of their polyamorous arrangement, she’s left struggling to reconcile the intimacy they shared with the deception that shattered it.
