Ep. 79 | Your Family Won’t Change… Now What? | Office Hours with Chuck

June 3, 2026·37 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Chuck is estranged from his mom and brother and keeps asking the same painful question: How do I have a relationship with people who won’t change? But Kate challenges something deeper underneath it all: what if his constant need to help, rescue, explain, and fix them is actually protecting him from grief? This episode unpacks the exhausting cycle of trying to manage emotionally unavailable family members, why “helping” can become a form of control, and what happens when you finally stop waiting for people to become who you need them to be. Kate explains why healing sometimes looks less like repairing relationships… and more like learning how to celebrate your own life without guilt.
