When Family Boundaries Aren’t the Problem During Christmas, Listening to your body is

Growing up as an addict’s daughter changes how you move through the world — especially once you have a kid of your own. Holidays hit harder. Family dynamics feel heavier. And Christmas? It brings up stuff you don’t have words for… just a knot in your chest and a lot of quiet resentment.

In this episode, I’m talking about the kind of boundaries no one teaches you — the ones that start in your body, not in a conversation. Why resentment isn’t always about family crossing lines, but about ignoring your own signals. And how grieving the Christmas you wish you had is sometimes the most freeing thing you can do.

This is about stopping the cycle. Listening to your body. Letting go of guilt. And choosing peace over forcing traditions that were never meant to fit you.

If you’re an addict’s daughter navigating motherhood, holidays, emotional eating, or burnout — this one will feel like someone finally said the quiet part out loud.
