Most [if not all] of us are well familiar with the challenges of being an adult, spending a period of time at home with our parents. Whether it’s moving back in with the folks long term, or just a weekend together with the fam, something about being back under mom and dad’s roof can bring old, unhealthy patterns from childhood right back to the surface.
In this episode, I once again interview my daughter Keana. After 18 months of being out of our home, she’s now spending a season back with us and is navigating the tricky dynamics that come with relating to Cora and I and her younger siblings. We share openly about our own relationship, and Keana gives some helpful tips about how to move back in with the family, whilst also maintaining your personal values and boundaries, and basically just not going completely mental.

We all wrestle with fears about what people think of us. We’re built for connection, and it’s natural to want to be embraced, celebrated, and viewed positively, especially by the people we care about most. So what do we do when that’s not the case? What do we do when other’s see us through a lens of negativity, even when we believe what we’re doing is motivated by genuine love? Or worse, what about when we’re judging someone else for judging us!
In this 4-part series, we dive into four different fears around how others perceive us, how crippling these fears can be and how to overcome them. You’ll likely connect in some way to all four of them, but one will probably stand out as the hardest for you to overcome.
In this episode, Part 2, we wrestle with the question, “What if I look like the weak one?”
