On this episode of the Character Outs Podcast we are going to talk about six things we are NOT going to embrace this year.
1. Minimize, belittle or downgrade ourselves to make someone feel better.
2. Thinking that loving our family more would have made things different.
3. Saying yes to things we don&#39;t want to do.
4. Beating ourselves up for saying no to things we do not want to do.
5. Embracing where we are on this journey and the mood we are in.
6. Not giving people who fuck up and keep on trucking a second chance.
Song: Phil Collins, &#39;I Don&#39;t Care Anymore&#39;

A conversation with Marie Birtel-Author of, "I Love You When..."

A podcast on a mission to normalize going (and staying) no contact with toxic family. 
You have read the books, set boundaries, cried for change, and had no choice but to preserve your peace and the peace of your children by going no contact with your toxic family. Going no contact is not a trend, it does not mean you gave up and it does not mean you are a villain. It is a brave decision to realize your worth and stop emotional abuse, even though they are family. This podcast is for anyone who has felt like a villain but refuses to return to more shit because you know, ‘It’s your family!!’
