"Family Ties or Emotional Traps? Protecting Your Peace Over DNA"

In this powerful episode of Da Panel, we dive deep into a conversation that many struggle to have out loud: Why is your healing questioned when the wound was caused by someone you share DNA with? We explore the deep-rooted guilt tied to distancing yourself from toxic family members and ask the tough questions: Why does protecting your mental health feel like betrayal? And why is toxicity so often excused with the phrase, "That's just how they are"?

Together, we voice what so many feel but are afraid to say: blood doesn't excuse bad behavior, and setting boundaries is an act of self-love, not selfishness. Tune in as we unpack the emotional weight, the societal pressures, and the freedom that comes when you choose your peace over keeping up appearances.

Key Topics:

• Healing from family-inflicted wounds
• Breaking free from guilt and obligation
• Recognizing and calling out toxic family dynamics
• Reframing "loyalty" and choosing yourself first

This one is for anyone who's ever been told 'family is everything'—even when that 'everything' is hurting you.
