How to break free from toxic family expectations, stop carrying generational guilt, and finally choose peace.

Family loyalty sounds noble, until it becomes a prison.

In this episode of U-Haul and Unpack, we’re calling out the one thing nobody wants to admit out loud: just because someone raised you, birthed you, or carries the title of “family,” doesn’t mean you live your life on their terms.

This one is raw and personal. We share the truth about family ties that held us back, the guilt that kept us stuck way too long, and the tools that finally set us free.

Together, we’ll unpack:

🚩 How “family loyalty” often disguises emotional warfare

💔 Why history doesn’t guarantee a future place in your life

🔑 The exact shifts we made to set boundaries and choose peace without drowning in guilt

If you’ve ever felt like loving your family means sacrificing yourself, or that walking away makes you selfish, this episode is for you. Family doesn’t mean you do as you're told, and it definitely doesn’t mean you dedicate your life to owing them.

It’s time to stop confusing blood for bond. Let’s unpack it.

How to recognize toxic friendships, set boundaries, and reclaim your energy.

Not literally.. We’re talking about those “friends” you’ve been carrying around for decades who were never actually in your corner.

Not all friends are really your friends. In this episode of U-Haul and Unpack, we’re unpacking the truth about toxic friendships, fake friends, and why people-pleasing kept us stuck way too long.

From 30-year friendships that turned sour to the final straws that set us free, we’re sharing:

🚩 Red flags of a toxic friend
💔 How to know when it’s time to walk away
🔑 Why cutting ties is the ultimate glow-up

If your “friend” is holding you back instead of cheering you on, this episode will help you spot the signs, stop the cycle, and break out before you burn out.

A raw look at cheating, betrayal, and uncovering the stories we tell ourselves.

In Episode 2 of U-Haul and Unpack, we put it all on the table. The cracks were there long before the affair, and now it’s time to ask the hard questions: Where were you? What were you thinking? Who were you back then?

This episode is about reflection and growth, not blame. We explore:

💔 Internal stories we tell ourselves in the aftermath of betrayal

🔑 Honest reflection as a tool for understanding and healing

🚩 How sitting in the mess can lead to deeper insight and stronger connections

This isn’t about rehashing pain. It’s about reflecting with the tools we’ve learned, noticing the internal stories we were each telling ourselves, and finally being honest about what was really going on beneath the surface.

If you’ve ever wanted to hear two people navigate the aftermath of an affair with honesty, vulnerability, and tough love, this is the episode for you. Let’s unpack it.

Exploring affairs, relationship recovery, and self-discovery after betrayal.

In our very first episode of U-Haul and Unpack, we dive headfirst into the question that cracked everything open: "Who the fck did I marry, and who the fck was I when I said yes?"

We’re a lesbian couple recovering from an affair, unpacking not just the fallout, but the lack of foundation that got us there.

This episode explores:

💔 How not knowing yourself can mask confusion as anger

🔑 Why defensiveness shows up when you’re asked if you truly love yourself

🚩 How self-discovery is the first step to repairing and understanding relationships, especially the one with yourself

If you’ve ever looked at your partner, or yourself, and thought, “Wait… how did we get here?” you’re not alone. Let’s unpack it.
