Show Notes

This week, Dr. Greg sits down with Adrian and Shaelyn Misiak to talk about the real-life tension of growing and healing while your family stays the same. Together they unpack how true boundaries flow from inner peace—not control—and how to stay grounded in mercy when old patterns resurface around the holidays.

Key Topics:

  • Why trying to control your family's behavior only increases anxiety—and what to do instead.
  • Why "outgrowing your family" doesn't mean you've done anything wrong—and what it actually reveals about your healing.
  • How to stay peaceful when one holiday comment sends you straight back into your old role.
  • The surprising truth: boundaries aren't the solution… they're the result of inner peace.
  • How to remain connected to your family without betraying the growth God is doing in you.
  • How mercy—not distance—creates the safest emotional space when old wounds resurface.
  • What to expect when you're the "different one" in the family…and how to carry that role with peace.
