What does it take to walk away from toxic family dynamics and finally choose yourself? In this powerful conversation, Rachel sits down with Caressa Dunphy to unpack her journey of breaking free from a lifetime of manipulation, conditional love, and control.

From being told as a child she was “too much,” to navigating the military for education, to ultimately severing ties with her entire family tree—Caressa’s story is one of resilience, intuition, and the courage to prune what no longer serves. 🌱Caressa’s message is clear: your soul always knows the way home, and happiness is possible—even if it means rewriting the definition of family.

🎧 Tune in now and let this conversation remind you that breaking cycles is not only possible, it’s a path to freedom.

You can find Caressa and her work through A is for Avocados, her private nutrition practice, and her own Badass Thriving Podcast.
