Get Your Workshop Tickets: Finding Calm & Managing Conflict
Ever wonder why that one family member can push your buttons faster than anyone else on the planet? In this eye-opening episode, Melanie breaks down the 8 communication archetypes that show up in every family dynamic - from the Mind Reader who assumes the worst, to the Guilt-Tripper with their passive-aggressive comments. But here's the twist: this isn't about surviving your "crazy" family. It's about understanding that these patterns are protective armor we ALL wear, and recognizing your own role in the dynamic. When you see these behaviors as survival strategies rather than personal attacks, everything shifts.
