What if keeping the peace is actually keeping you from being fully yourself?
In this heartfelt and empowering coaching session, Christine works with Emily, who is preparing to release her first book—a deeply personal guide about becoming an intentional, loving grandparent called Don't Skip the Party.
But instead of celebration, Emily is met with silence and defensiveness from her mother.
As her mom reads the book through the lens of her own regrets and perceived shortcomings, Emily finds herself pulled back into a familiar role: making sure everyone else is okay, even at the expense of her own truth.
Together, Christine and Emily unpack one of the most common generational patterns many women carry—the belief that love means managing other people's emotions.
The conversation explores boundaries, codependency, family dynamics, and the difference between truth spoken with love versus sacrificing yourself to keep others comfortable.
If you've ever felt responsible for a parent's happiness, struggled to set loving boundaries, or found yourself shrinking your truth to avoid upsetting others, this episode will resonate deeply.
Press play to discover why letting people have their feelings may be one of the most loving things you can do—for them and for yourself.
