Listen " #52 Anthony Hester: No Contact, Grief & Growth: Navigating Toxic Family Dynamics"
Episode Synopsis
Is your family making you insane? Yeah… us too. In this episode, my friend Anthony and I get real about what finally pushed us to go no contact with toxic family members. Enjoy this first time we ever spoke and our raw talk about childhood roles, triangulation, the masks we wore just to survive — and how all of that showed up in our adult relationships.This is just the tip of the iceberg from a lifetime of stories. From therapy breakthroughs to feeling like you're receiveing messages from the universe, to boundaries, and even letting go of the loved one with addiction issues in the family, we realized something big: sometimes you love someone enough to say goodbye so you finally stop hurting each other. And on the other side of that choice is healing, freedom, and finally becoming the person you were meant to be.If you’ve ever felt the pull between family loyalty and self-preservation, this conversation will make you feel less alone.
