When Family Isn’t Safe: Navigating No Contact During the Holidays

HOLIDAYS • FAMILY • BOUNDARIES • NO CONTACT • MENTAL HEALTH • SELF-CARE

This week on Spill the Tea, Will and Maria unpack the emotional chaos of the holiday season—the pressure, the expectations, and the family dynamics that can leave you drained instead of joyful. From navigating obligations to recognizing when no contact is the healthiest choice, we dive deep into how relationships shape our emotional well-being during this time of year.

We explore why boundaries matter, how therapy can help you process family patterns, and the importance of building a support network when you’re dealing with toxic or unhealthy family members. This is your reminder that protecting your peace is not only allowed: it’s essential.

Sound bites you’ll definitely relate to:
“The holidays are hard.”
“Drama becomes a lifestyle.”
“You need a network of support.”

If you’re struggling with family pressure, complicated relationships, mental health, or self-care during the holidays, this episode validates your experience and gives you tools to navigate it with confidence.
