The Year I Said No to Turkey

In this storytelling episode, Blaze shares the story of a client who found emotional freedom the year she said no to hosting Thanksgiving. Through honesty, fear, and relief, she discovered that boundaries don’t break connection — they rebuild it.

You’ll Hear:

A true-to-life story of boundary-setting in a family system.

Why guilt is often a sign of nervous system growth.

How saying no can deepen relationships instead of ending them.

Simple steps to practice sustainable boundaries this holiday season.

Emotional Takeaway:

Love doesn’t require exhaustion. Boundaries protect the parts of you that make connection possible.
