About this listen

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Jacob Ambrose for a deep and compassionate conversation about navigating complicated family dynamics—especially during the holiday season. We explore why boundaries are essential, what healthy ones actually look like, and how to honor your needs without burning bridges.

Dr. Jay also walks us through why cutting off family isn’t always the only—or healthiest—solution, and how forgiveness, nuance, and emotional maturity can help guide our decisions. Together, we talk about repairing relationships, protecting your peace, and the importance of connection and community when things feel messy or overwhelming.

Whether you’re heading into the holidays feeling anxious, hopeful, or somewhere in between, this episode offers grounded, realistic guidance to help you show up authentically and care for yourself along the way.
