This week, we’re diving into a conversation that hits home for so many women — literally. Going home for the holidays can bring joy… but it can also bring anxiety, old wounds, and the kind of questions that make you want to fake an urgent phone call and run to your car.

In this episode, Kala breaks down three core principles that will help you protect your peace, honor your growth, and show up for yourself without guilt, fear, or the pressure to perform. You’ll learn how to set boundaries without blowing up the dinner table, stop carrying emotional responsibilities that aren’t yours, and stop comparing your journey to everyone else’s highlight reel.

This one is heartfelt, honest, and packed with the practical tools you need to move through the holiday season with clarity, courage, and confidence.

Inside This Episode:

✨ Why going home can trigger old insecurities
✨ How to decide your level of participation this year
✨ Scripts for shutting down intrusive questions (with grace AND backbone)
✨ The truth about emotional responsibility and why it’s not your job to “fix” the family dynamic
✨ How comparison sneaks in at the dinner table — and how to take your power back
✨ A reframe that pulls you out of shame and back into your own lane
✨ What it looks like to enforce boundaries in real time
✨ Why your growth might make others uncomfortable — and why that’s okay

Who This Episode Is For:

This is for the woman who loves her people but still feels knots in her stomach when it’s time to go home.
The woman navigating strained family relationships.
The woman tired of being asked about marriage, babies, weight, work, or whatever they feel entitled to comment on.
The woman who’s doing her best to heal — and wants to stay grounded in the process.
