Standing Firm: Handling Criticism for Cutting Off Toxic Family Members

What I want you to know today is: this is completely, utterly wrong. Titus in the English standard version of the bible says: as for a person who stirs up division after mourning him once and then, twice have nothing more to do with him.
Imagine deciding to cut ties with toxic family members, only to face backlash from those who believe family bonds are unbreakable. In this episode, Cynthia Bailey-Rug dives into the emotional turmoil that comes with such a decision. Drawing from her own experiences, Cynthia shares the importance of prioritising your mental health and well-being over societal and familial expectations. She tackles the religious guilt that often accompanies these tough choices, reminding listeners that forgiveness doesn't always mean reconciliation.
Cynthia's candid discussion offers a lifeline to those grappling with the guilt and criticism that often follow such decisions. She emphasises that setting boundaries is not a reflection of your worth but a necessary step for self-care. Throughout the episode, Cynthia reassures her audience that they are not alone in this struggle and encourages them to seek support and help.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling trapped by toxic family dynamics and looking for validation and guidance on prioritising their own mental health.
