214. Meghan Tonjes: Reconciliation after Going No Contact with Family

March 12
1h 12m

Episode Description

Meghan Tonjes returns to the podcast to offer a different perspective about going No Contact than Oprah and Mel Robbins purport. Just because Boomers & Gen X put up with abusive behavior and authority trauma doesn't mean we have to--we have choices.


The being disowned by a parent to reconciliation path CAN happen and her story is incredibly sweet. Tonjes offers a nuanced and deep reflection about her experience moving back to Michigan and Aunt life: the joys of parenting without the intense commitment.
