In this episode of Feelings & Other F Words, we’re unpacking a topic that almost didn’t make it to air, because it’s that layered, that personal, and that emotionally charged.This week, we’re breaking down family estrangement: what the research actually says about going no-contact (or low-contact), how common it really is, why it happens, what it costs us emotionally, and how to decide if it might be the right choice, for now, or forever.No sugarcoating. No one-size-fits-all answers. Just an honest look at what it means to fracture family ties and what it might take to heal, rebuild, or release them altogether.
