This week, Janelle is answering your questions in another listener Q&A episode. She shares her thoughts on everything from going no contact and explaining difficult family relationships to your children, to what happens when a spouse refuses to stand up for their partner. She also weighs in on guilt, healing, religion being used to justify unhealthy behavior, and whether you really have to call your in-laws "Mom" and "Dad." Along the way, Janelle opens up about balancing work, motherhood, and content creation, reflects on her own healing journey, and offers practical advice for navigating some of the most common questions she receives from her followers. And, if you're curious and want to check out last week's episode, in which Janelle addresses the recent death of her own MIL, head to her YouTube channel and watch it here.

This week, Janelle is joined by Melissa, a follower whose relationship with her own mother-in-law has been marked by years of subtle digs, impossible expectations, and what she describes as "death by a thousand cuts." Melissa shares how the tension started almost immediately, the countless moments that chipped away at the relationship over the years, and the incident that ultimately led her husband to draw a line in the sand and ask his mother for an apology. The conversation explores how small comments can have a lasting impact, why accountability matters, and what happens when someone refuses to acknowledge the hurt they've caused. Melissa also opens up about the complicated reality of moving forward when boundaries have been set, but the conflict is far from over.

This week, Janelle shares something deeply personal. After years of talking about difficult family dynamics online, inspired largely by her relationship with her own mother-in-law, she received the difficult news that her mother-in-law had passed away. She opens up about what the last few weeks have looked like for her family, why a terminal diagnosis doesn't erase years of complicated history, and what it's been like watching her husband navigate grief, estrangement, and unanswered attempts to reconnect. The conversation also explores the difficult decisions families sometimes face at the end of someone's life, why boundaries don't suddenly disappear because circumstances change, and how complicated relationships often remain complicated until the very end.

This week, Janelle is talking about something she sees all the time in difficult family relationships… scolding. Not giving feedback. Not expressing disappointment. Scolding. She breaks down why so many parents continue speaking to their adult children the same way they did when they were kids, why that approach almost always backfires, and how shame and guilt can quietly erode relationships over time. Janelle also shares a personal story from the early days of her social media journey, when her in-laws tried to pressure her into taking down a viral video, and why that experience completely changed the way she thinks about conflict, communication, and accountability. The episode explores healthier ways to express hurt, why self-reflection matters before reacting, and how honest conversations are almost always more effective than trying to make someone feel bad.

This week, Janelle is chatting with someone listeners have heard her mention many times… her podcast producer, Robyn Flynn, owner of Le Studio Quinze in Châteauguay, Quebec. The conversation starts with how the two met through social media and eventually teamed up to launch Still Talking About It, before shifting into Robyn's own experience navigating marriage, parenting, and a complicated relationship with her mother-in-law, including how that toxic relationship contributed to the end of her own marriage. They talk about the subtle comments that add up over time, what happens when your partner struggles to stand up for you, and how different family cultures can shape expectations in ways you don't always recognize until you're living them. The episode also explores choosing the boundaries you're unwilling to compromise on, learning to let go of relationships that aren't healthy, and why sometimes protecting your peace means accepting that not everyone is willing to grow with you (or stand up for you).

This week, Janelle welcomes Dr. Tracy Dalgleish back for Part Two of their conversation about family dynamics, boundaries, and what it takes to build healthy relationships in complicated family systems. They talk about why honest feedback can be so difficult to hear, how to tell the difference between criticism and genuine concern, and why having people in your life who challenge you isn't always a bad thing. The conversation also explores parenting, boundaries, and the pressure many adults feel when trying to balance their own needs with family expectations. Janelle and Dr. Tracy discuss why boundaries are not a substitute for difficult conversations, the importance of presenting a united front in your relationship, and why it's never too late to change unhealthy patterns. They also tackle the rise of therapy language on social media, including the way terms like "narcissist" are often overused, and why focusing on labels can sometimes distract from the real issue.

This week, Janelle is joined by clinical psychologist and You, Your Husband and His Mother author Dr. Tracy Dalgleish for a conversation that gets to the heart of so many in-law struggles. Like why daughters-in-law so often find themselves cast as either the victim or the villain, and what it looks like to step out of those roles and become the main character in your own life instead. Janelle and Dr. Tracy also discuss the generational shifts that are changing family relationships, why younger generations are less willing to tolerate unhealthy dynamics, and what happens when two very different family systems collide through marriage. They also dive into resentment, emotional labor, self-awareness, and the difficult reality that healthy relationships require participation from both sides. Sometimes the biggest question isn't how to fix the relationship… it's deciding what you're willing to accept if nothing changes.

This week, Janelle is tackling a topic that generated a lot of strong opinions from followers… What happens when your mother-in-law continues to maintain contact with your partner’s ex? This all starts with a listener sharing how her mother-in-law has maintained a close relationship with her son's former partner, despite being told that it makes him uncomfortable. The listener wanted to know whether this is something you can set a boundary around… and the answers weren't nearly as straightforward as you might think. Janelle also gets into the difference between a request and a boundary, why some family situations are more complicated than a simple right-or-wrong answer, and how to navigate relationships that continue to hurt your feelings even when nobody is technically doing anything "wrong." You’ll also hear about the importance of making space for uncomfortable emotions, why validation doesn't always mean agreement, and how relationships can sometimes be maintained without becoming the center of someone's life.
