Episode 2925: Tonya Lester explores the painful complexity of setting boundaries with parents, especially when childhood trauma is minimized or ignored. She reveals how unspoken family dynamics can follow us into adulthood, and how reclaiming personal power begins with honoring our own limits. This powerful reflection shows that no matter your age, you have the right to protect your peace and choose who has access to your life. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.tonyalester.com/blog/how-to-set-boundaries-with-your-parents Quotes to ponder: "Even once we've reached adulthood, it can be difficult to challenge a parent's authority and insist on changing the status quo." "No matter how old you are, how dysfunctional your relationships are, or how scary the people in your life can sometimes be, you can always make a change. You can always learn how to speak up, take risks, and know your worth." "Adults are not trapped in relationships. Adults get to choose who they allow into their lives."
