Podcasts about family dynamics

Most people think enmeshment is love. They think it's loyalty/ being a close family or maybe it's just caring deeply about the people around them, but what if the reason you struggle to make decisions, set boundaries, trust yourself, or put your partner first has nothing to do with love and everything to do with enmeshment? In this powerful conversation, we sit down with therapist Aliza Shapiro to unpack one of the most misunderstood relationship dynamics: enmeshment. We explore how family loyalty can sometimes become control, why so many eldest children become parentified, how cultural expectations shape our identities, and what it takes to build healthy relationships without losing the people we love. Whether you're constantly seeking your parents' approval, feel responsible for everyone else's emotions, or struggle to put your own needs first, this episode will help you understand where those patterns come from and how to begin changing them. If you've ever felt guilty for choosing yourself, this conversation is for you.

From Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz-Beckham to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, we've watched family rifts play out publicly. But behind the headlines is a dilemma many people face in their own lives: what happens when the person you love doesn't fit into the family you come from? This week, Kate Langbroek sits down with world-renowned relationship therapist Esther Perel to discuss one of the most emotionally complicated tensions of adulthood — choosing your partner while trying to maintain your relationship with your family. Why do some parents struggle to accept their child's partner? Why can falling in love feel like betrayal? And when family conflict erupts, how do you protect your relationship without losing the people who raised you? Together, Kate and Esther unpack family estrangement, difficult in-laws, loyalty, intimacy, and the relationship patterns we inherit from our parents — and whether it's possible to build a marriage that looks different from the one we grew up with.

In today's episode, Christie Thomas is back to talk about the quiet strength of gentleness and why it matters so deeply in our homes. Christie shares how gentleness is not weakness or passivity, but strength held under control for the good of others. We discuss parenting through the fruit of the Spirit, responding instead of reacting, and how our kids learn about the character of Jesus through the way we handle frustration, conflict, and mistakes. We also talk honestly about the exhaustion of parenting, spiritual dry seasons, postpartum anxiety, worship as prayer, and simple ways to stay connected to God when you feel overwhelmed. This conversation is full of practical encouragement for parents who want to build homes marked by patience, safety, grace, and the gentleness of Christ.(00:00) Introduction to Christie Thomas and Her Journey(03:10) Understanding Gentleness: A Deeper Meaning(06:04) Gentleness in Parenting: Balancing Authority and Compassion(08:51) The Role of the Holy Spirit in Cultivating Gentleness(12:09) Discipling Our Children Through Our Actions(14:50) Practical Steps to Grow in Gentleness(18:05) The Impact of Gentleness on Family Dynamics(21:02) Resources for Growing in Gentleness(24:03) Conclusion and Final ThoughtsResources MentionedEveryday Prayers for Gentleness bookLittle Shoots Deep RootsInstagramPrefer video?

This episode explores how the Family Soul shapes inherited patterns, hidden loyalties, and the challenges we experience, revealing that many of the burdens we carry may belong to previous generations rather than ourselves.

The promise of owning an elderly parent's home may be attractive for family caregivers. Caring for aging parents may involve more work than you think, especially if a parent has dementia or Alzheimer's. Along with being a caregiver, you may give up income, health insurance, retirement savings, a social life, and the right to call your own shots because of depending on an elderly parent for income and a place to live.Trading your life to care for a parent, with a future promise to own real estate, may not be practical if your parent needs the home's equity for a reverse mortgage to pay their bills or to sell the home to pay for assisted living, memory care, or nursing home care. It's impossible to predict the future, and a promise today may need to be broken tomorrow.So while giving up a job or career to live with and care for parents might seem like a good plan, caregiving expert, educator, and consultant Pamela D.

What if the patterns in your relationships are not just about communication, compatibility, or choosing the wrong person, but subconscious wounds your nervous system learned years ago? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Thais Gibson, PhD, bestselling author, counselor, speaker, attachment theory expert, and founder of The Personal Development School, to explore how attachment styles, childhood conditioning, core wounds, subconscious programming, and nervous system regulation shape the way we love, fight, connect, and pull away.In this episode, Thais explains why the conscious mind often cannot overpower the subconscious mind, and why so many people keep repeating the same relationship patterns even when they know better. She breaks down the four attachment styles: secure, anxious, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant, and explains how each style can show up in adult relationships, dating, marriage, family dynamics, conflict, ghosting, love bombing, emotional shutdown, clinginess, and the painful push-pull cycle.Dr. Taz and Thais discuss why affirmations may not be enough to heal deep core wounds, why the subconscious mind responds more to emotion and imagery than language, and how childhood experiences can become the lens through which we interpret adult relationships. Thais also shares a practical 21-day rewiring exercise using memory, emotion, visualization, and repetition to help shift core wounds like abandonment, betrayal, shame, unworthiness, and fear of being trapped.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

Are you a grandparent who finds yourself stepping back into the exhausting world of parenting, unexpectedly raising your grandchildren in the wake of family upheaval? Do you ever mourn the peaceful retirement you imagined, longing for slow mornings and carefree days, only to wake up facing a mountain of responsibilities you didn't choose? Does the gap between the life you hoped for and the reality you're living sometimes feel like a weight you carry in solitude?I'm Laura, and like you, I've wrestled with the emotional complexities of kinship caregiving. There was a time I imagined being the picture-perfect grandmother—apron neat, stories at bedtime, the house always warm and welcoming. But I've endured losses, illness, and heartbreak. I know the ache of wishing for rest and the fear for what would become of our grandchildren if we weren't there for them. The transition from simply doing the right thing to wholeheartedly accepting the role has been my most powerful shift.Welcome to "Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity." Here, we peel back the layers of duty, grief, resilience, and acceptance. You'll find expert guidance—including the wisdom of world-renowned psychologist Dr. Anthony Silard—real stories from the trenches, and a community that understands the unique challenges of raising children after trauma or family rupture. To order any of Dr. Silard's books and to find out more about his work, please visit his website. We'll talk about the difference between fighting our reality and embracing it—why acceptance is not passive surrender but a source of strength. You'll hear how to let go of outdated ideals and anchor yourself in the life you have, nurturing your grandchildren and yourself at the same time.You are not alone in this. Together, we'll explore the tools, resources, and mindsets to help you—and your grandchildren—grow, heal, and thrive. This is your boardroom, your community, and your story to author anew.Send us Fan MailDr. Jennifer Brunton holds a Ph.D. in sociology from Columbia University and has a career spanning from college professor to high-level editor and writer for brands like Forbes and Random House. But it is her identity as a proudly Autistic parent of an Autistic son and grandmother/primary caregiver to two neurodivergent granddaughters, 2- and 3-years-old, that fuels her deepest mission. I recently interviewed her for an episode that will be live the end of August 2026.  Jill Bryant has spent years researching the deep complexities of counseling and the lived reality of kinship care as a professor and a grandparent raising a grandchild.

Lars asked openly.No: Ingrid sukket, prøvde å svare tålmodig.En: Ingrid sighed, trying to answer patiently.No: "Disse dagene binder oss sammen som en familie," sa hun, og la en kjærlig hånd på skulderen hans.En: "These days bind us together as a family," she said, placing a loving hand on his shoulder.No: Men Lars' ord satte fyr på Knuts tanker. Det var på tide å snakke.En: But Lars' words ignited Knut's thoughts.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  In this episode, she's speaking with Luke Burgis about his new book, The One and the Ninety-Nine, Forging Identity in the Age of Social Contagion.  Through stories ranging from the parable of the lost sheep to August Landmesser, the only person in a huge crowd to refuse to salute to Hitler, Luke describes the missing skill that makes real community possible: learning how to remain oneself while staying connected to others. He offers practical, tactical advice for how to recognize false belonging, escape coercive dynamics, and pass through the rites of passage that produce people with integrity and courage. This is a book that will help you figure out what YOU want, so that you can go get it rather than being distracted by what others want. Guest Background: Luke Burgis is the director of The Cluny Institute and a professor at The Catholic University of America, where he studies the invisible forces that shape human behavior. He is the author of Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life. He lives in Washington, D.C., and Michigan with his wife, Claire, and their children.

Today, we delve into the intricate dynamics of relationships and societal perceptions, particularly focusing on the implications of interracial dating. The salient point revolves around the notion that entering into a relationship with a partner of a different race can elicit strong reactions from family and community members, which often impacts the relationship's viability. Through our candid discussion, we explore the multifaceted experiences of individuals navigating these challenges, emphasizing the necessity for awareness and understanding in such contexts. We reflect on personal anecdotes and societal observations, aiming to foster a deeper comprehension of how cultural backgrounds influence interpersonal connections. As we engage with these themes, we invite listeners to consider their own experiences and the broader implications of love, acceptance, and societal expectations.

Motherhood is learning to hold on and faithfully let go.

In this message from our series The Parables of Jesus, Pastor Stephen Mizell walks through the Parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15 and explores the realities of family tension, rebellion, resentment, grace, and forgiveness. Whether you're waiting on a prodigal, carrying pain from fractured relationships, or trying to hold your family together through difficult seasons, this message offers hope and reminds us that healthy families are not built on perfection, but on grace-filled hearts surrendered to God. In this message: • The difference between rebellion and resentment • Why healthy families don't hide the mess • Learning to let God work in situations we cannot control • How to protect your heart while waiting on others • The Father's response to both rebellious and resentful children • Why grace matters more than appearances
