The Unlearning Room is a space for quiet rebellion, deep reflection, and relational growth — in parenting, power, and the systems we live, lead, and love within.

Hosted by Cecily May — Family dynamics specialist, IFS-informed coach, and certified Synergetic Play Provider — this podcast explores the beliefs and patterns we carry from childhood, and how they shape the way we relate, protect, and lead as adults— from our families to our friendships, from our homes to our workplaces.

From reparenting and boundary-setting to system-shifting and self-leadership, every episode invites you to rethink what you’ve been taught — and what it means to be a leader in your life and relationships.

Because relationships are where it all begins.

And unlearning? That’s the real rebellion.
