If you’re struggling in a family relationship and unsure whether to go low contact, no contact, or something in between — this episode is for you. We explore the difference between the two, the psychology of limited engagement, and how to protect your wellbeing without burning every bridge. Sometimes, distance is necessary. But how you create it… makes all the difference.

We live in a culture that encourages quick cut-offs in the name of “protecting your peace” — but real boundaries require more than silence. In this episode, we unpack what you can try before you end a relationship for good: how to communicate limits clearly, how to stay in your power without needing control, and how to walk away with integrity — if it comes to that.

Going no contact with family is one of the most difficult, complex choices you can make — and one that often comes with grief, guilt, and long-term consequences. In this episode, we explore the psychology behind family estrangement, when it may be necessary, and the hidden emotional costs it can carry. This is not a decision to take lightly — and this episode will help you think it through with clarity, honesty, and care.

Avoiding conflict feels safe — until it quietly erodes your boundaries.
