Family is supposed to feel safe…

but what do you do when it doesn’t?

In this episode of the Grace in the Journey Podcast, we’re talking about the reality so many women quietly carry — loving your family deeply while also navigating hurt, tension, and complicated relationships.

Because sometimes…

Love is still there.

But so is the pain.

In this conversation, Misti shares both personal experiences and practical wisdom on what it looks like to walk through fragile family dynamics with grace, truth, and emotional health.

We talk about:

✨ Walking on eggshells in relationships

✨ Feeling misunderstood by those closest to you

✨ The tension between love and boundaries

✨ Why grace does not mean access without accountability

✨ And what healing can look like — even when everything isn’t perfect

This episode is for the woman who:

Feels torn between protecting her peace and preserving relationships…

Who has stayed quiet because she didn’t know how to express the weight she was carrying…

Or who is learning how to love others without losing herself in the process.

Because here’s the truth:

You can love deeply and still need boundaries.

And healing is possible — even in the most fragile places.
