Well, hello there and welcome to this episode of the Terry Cole Show. As always, I'm so happy.

You were taking time out of your life or including me in your life to be here today with me.

So today, I am breaking down and diving into unspoken family roles, how they shape sibling relationships

and rivalries. So many of you have written into me saying that you have a lot of conflict

with your siblings, especially now that you're managing aging parents. So we're going to be looking

at some lingering resentments, invisible labor, role fatigue,

and I'm going to give you some ideas in the guide that I provide for you of how you can shift

these dynamics if you are experiencing this right now by setting boundaries, by shifting narratives,

and by protecting your energy as an adult.

We outgrow these roles. And if you're someone who, this will be especially relevant for you,

if you're someone who's always managing the family conflict, if you're a caregiver for aging

parents, or if you're feeling emotionally overextended by all of the drama in your family

of origin, this episode, my friend, is for you. So before we get into it, just hi, and I hope

you're doing great. And I'm checking in with, how are you doing? I hope that this podcast is a soft place for you to land in a hard-ass world,

which is exactly what my membership is as well.

Terry Cole membership, just remember that it's there.

Terrycolle.com forward slash T-CM where we meet every week, and I do Q&A's every week. And I teach you and I have special guests. And it's super fun. But really, the most important thing about the membership is that it is a safe and sacred place to land in a hard-ass world, people. Anywho, thanks for being here. If you want to support the show, if you love it, it really does help me if you rate and review it.

And I want to say thank you to ATB. Re for this five-star review of the Terry Cole show.

Heal, they said. Last January, I started my podcasting journey and heard you as a guest on shows.

Why did it take me so long to realize you had your own show?

P.S. because sadly, I never talk about it. I love your episodes about HFC, high functioning

codependency, for those of you who are new here. It has been so eye-opening to say the least.
