Ep 57: How Elisa Sets Boundaries with Her Mom in front of her Teenagers
“And then I told myself, you know, if you don't speak up, this is gonna turn into resentment and you'll love your mother and your mother loves you, loves you, and you have to speak up for both of you…And that's what made me, spoke up, in front of her, in front of my daughter… Speaking up is because it comes from a place of love. It comes from a place of saying your truth, not only for my mom, but for myself.” - Elisa
