Growing up, I experienced emotional neglect and dysfunction that followed me into adulthood, showing up in my relationships, mental health, and self-worth. I had to make the hard choice to set boundaries and sometimes even distance myself from family to break generational cycles of pain. It was painful but necessary work to unlearn toxic patterns and create healthier dynamics in my own home. I know how hard it is to balance love, loyalty, and self-protection—and I’m here to support others who are ready to break those chains for good.
