Hey there, Colors Beams!

Ever felt like the black sheep in your family — cut off, misunderstood, or judged for living your truth because you didn't fit the mold? In this episode, we’re unpacking what happens when family uses religion, tradition, or guilt as a weapon to try to control you.

Sometimes, choosing yourself, your peace, your identity, and your growth means walking away — and that doesn’t make you wrong.

So, if you've heard “we know what’s best” or “blood is thicker than water” used to silence you, this conversation is for you.

Let’s talk boundaries, healing, and creating space for chosen family and maybe give a voice to those that have walked away AND those that struggle to walk away.💜💙💜💙

✨ You are not alone. You are not wrong. You are not the only one.

Share your story in the comments or tag someone who needs to hear this.

Let’s create a space where acceptance isn’t earned — it’s given.

Your voice matters. Your truth matters. You matter.
