Series 9: The Wall and the Wonderland: When They Don’t Want to Meet You There

Episode 148: Croquet Without Rules

Ever tried playing a game where the rules keep changing—and no one tells you what they are?

That’s what it’s like trying to connect with people who move the goalposts, shift expectations, or gaslight your reality.

In this episode, we step onto the chaotic croquet field of relationships that lack consistency, fairness, or emotional safety.

We’ll explore the exhaustion of always guessing the rules, the toll it takes on your self-trust, and how to set boundaries that bring your power back into play.

Because even in Wonderland, you deserve clarity, stability—and a fair shot at the game.

Episode 147: Rabbit Hole Fights

Some conflicts don’t explode—they spiral. One small comment, one sideways glance, and suddenly you’re tumbling down a rabbit hole of misunderstanding, overreaction, and emotional chaos.

In this episode, we explore those Wonderland-style arguments where everything feels upside-down and no one’s really hearing each other.

We’ll unpack why these fights feel so intense, how past wounds fuel present reactions, and what it takes to climb out—without losing yourself in the process.

Because not every fall is worth chasing—and not every rabbit hole leads to clarity.

Episode 146: The Doorknob That Won’t Turn

You’ve knocked. You’ve spoken kindly. You’ve even shrunk yourself down just to fit through their expectations.

But still—the door won’t open. In this episode, we meet the unbudging doorknob: the people who refuse to meet you halfway, no matter how much you grow or reach out.

We’ll explore the emotional toll of trying to connect when the other side refuses to turn the key.

And more importantly, we’ll talk about how to stop waiting outside someone else’s locked door—and start building doorways of your own.

Because in Wonderland, not every door is meant to open—but you’re still allowed to move forward.
