The support, tools, and community you need to untangle your family.
Love your family but don’t like them? Start here.
Something in your family has been feeling a little off for a while, but you’re not quite sure what it is. Mom keeps asking why you don’t call, and it feels like a lot of effort to come by for Sunday dinner. So you pop in for holidays, send a text on birthdays, and try not to think about it.
The truth is all families have a little bit of drama and dysfunction. And sometimes, it feels easier to ignore it and pretend like everything is fine. But eventually, those pesky old patterns will show up in your dating life, friendships, and at work because your family relationships influence everything you do. The wellness influencers you follow can only take you so far; it’s time to be a little bit more intentional.
Family is weird. Calling Home is weirdly helpful.
