Does your family have lore?

You know...those family stories that are told over and over again?

Well, imagine my confusion when one of those stories from my childhood—one I’ve heard a million times before—suddenly made me feel surprisingly uncomfortable. I felt myself getting defensive, my body getting all worked up, my tone getting a bit snippy. I tried to move the conversation along quickly so I could get back to game night.

But I’ve been thinking about it ever since.

Over the years, I’ve learned that when something triggers me, it’s often a good idea to pay attention. Sometimes, it means there’s something deeper that’s ready to heal.

So I started unpacking it. And I think I’ve figured out why that retelling hit differently this time.

In this episode, I talk about parent-child relationships, the seasons of being a daughter, and how my view of my parents and my childhood has evolved over time.

Covered in this episode:

  • [00:00] Surprisingly triggered by a childhood story

  • [02:56] How our parents shape who we become

  • [04:10] The pressures of parenting and giving grace

  • [05:54] Reframing childhood stories

  • [06:49] The changing seasons of being a daughter

  • [11:13] Letting go of the manual and choosing peace

  • [16:55] A new season of compassion

Maybe you can relate…

xx, Megan
