Breaking the Cycle of Family Roles and MAKE NICE (with Ryan Effgen and Driola Dega)
Marisa chats with Ryan Effgen, author of Make Nice, and Driola Dega, therapist at Driola Dega Psychotherapy, to explore family roles, people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, and the pressure to keep the peace even when things aren't okay. They unpack how childhood dynamics follow us into adulthood, why major life transitions can bring old patterns to the surface, and how boundaries, honest communication, and small acts of change can help us build healthier family relationships while making room for who we are beyond the roles we've always played.
