Mental health patterns, coping strategies, and emotional habits do not appear out of nowhere. They travel through generations, often quietly and invisibly, until someone decides to interrupt them.
In this Mother’s Day episode, Leslie and Lindsey Glass draw from their own lived experience of estrangement, reconciliation, and years of therapeutic work to offer compassionate, practical tools for families ready to do things differently.
Key takeaways:
- Reconnection Happens in Small Steps: Rebuilding trust after estrangement does not require grand gestures. Baby-step conversations and shared low-pressure activities can gradually restore a sense of safety and genuine connection.
- Boundaries Are Part of Healing: Setting and honoring boundaries is not a barrier to reconciliation but a foundation for it, creating the conditions in which real trust can grow over time.
- What to Do When Only One Person Is Ready: The conversation explores the difficult reality of wanting to heal a relationship when the other person is not yet in the same place, and how to move forward with compassion for yourself and for them.
