Family drama can feel impossible to escape. Someone says something hurtful, crosses a boundary, or brings a storm of negativity into the room — and suddenly your peace is gone too.

In this talk, we explore how to deal with difficult family members without stuffing down your emotions, exploding in anger, or losing yourself in the chaos. You’ll learn how to stop feeding the internal thought storm, set boundaries without rage, protect your peace around negativity, and accept people as they are without giving up your clarity or self-respect. Peace does not come from controlling everyone around you. It comes from learning how not to join the storm.
