 In this episode, I explore:

This episode is not about blaming or shaming—it’s about understanding, empowering, and creating a healing path grounded in truth, mercy, and emotional maturity.

Friends,

In this episode, I dive deep into the painful phenomenon of family estrangement, where adult children enforce no-contact orders with their parents, leaving many elderly individuals isolated from their families and grandchildren. I explore the emotional turmoil experienced by these grandparents and discuss the importance of forgiveness in healing long-standing family wounds.

I share practical tips for sidelined grandparents on how to navigate the chasm created by generational differences and past conflicts and offer a series of steps to foster healing, including taking an inventory of past injuries, respecting boundaries, and seeking professional help when needed.

Friends, 

In this episode, I draw connections between my experiences as an immigrant to the United States and the Gospel of Jesus Christ in light of recent social media experiences. There are things immigrants know that others don’t. The sacrifice is deep—cutting ties with home, family, traditions, and futures imagined. We lose birthdays and funerals, the smell of our mothers' food, and the feeling of our language being spoken without judgment.

And now, as Catholic spaces online erupt with harsh, often dehumanizing rhetoric about immigrants—many of whom are people like me—I feel heartbreak. I exhort listeners to be merciful and mindful about their thoughts and use of language. This episode invites listeners from all backgrounds to reflect on mercy, generosity, and the human cost of freedom.

Friends,

In this episode, I make the crucial distinction between internalized trauma and genuine offenses.  I explore the long-term consequences of overt and covert traumas and shed light on how these experiences shape our identities and relationships, often leading to misplaced responsibility and forgiveness.
