Episode 139: Saying "I hear you, and the answer is still no" to Toxic In-Laws

<p>In this episode of the Catholic Wives with Toxic In-Laws Podcast, Miriam Susan discusses how to say, “I hear you, and the answer is still no,” when toxic in-laws keep pressing you to change a decision. She explains that listening with compassion doesn’t obligate you to agree, especially when you and your husband have already made a thoughtful decision. Drawing from Proverbs and her own experience, she offers encouragement for holding firm boundaries without abandoning charity or peace.</p><p><em>This podcast is the personal apostolic work of Miriam Susan, a Catholic laywoman and convert.
