- GXJ Replay: No Contact: Grieving the Relationship without Losing Hope, with Candi Morris
Today on the Gen X Juggler podcast, Deb interviews Candi Morris, creator of the Estranged and Rearranged podcast, about supporting parents whose adult children go no contact.
Candi shares her personal estrangement from her 35-year-old son since July 2022, the loss of contact with her granddaughter, and the earlier death of an adult daughter, describing estrangement as “ambiguous grief.”
She discusses why estrangement feels more prevalent, citing social media algorithms, cultural focus on the self, media coverage, and a reported 38% of adults estranged from a family member. They address impacts on grandchildren and family legacy, missing grace and forgiveness, links to divorce, tragedy, therapy advice, and spouse/partner influence.
Candi urges parents to hold hope for reconciliation while continuing to live, improve themselves, and seek support via estrangedandrearranged.com and free weekly Zoom groups.

51 min - 64. The Baggage We Carry: Friendship, Faith, and Letting Go of What Was with Debbie AvingerDeb returns to the Gen X Juggler podcast’s “back to basics” roots and welcomes lifelong friend Debbie Avinger, who previously appeared in the early audio-only days.They reflect on 42+ years of friendship, midlife pressures, parenting stages, and how difficult seasons can pile up. Their conversation centers on “baggage”—personal burdens and the unseen burdens others carry—and how to respond without regret by leaning on God and community.They discuss Christ-centered tools such as breath prayers using scripture, the nervous system’s tendency to replay “what was,” and the challenge of self-isolation, pride, and shame when struggling. Debbie shares a short piece, “The River of Was,” about giving burdens and even “crowns” to God, who “was, is, and is to come,” emphasizing daily mercy and taking life one day at a time.00:00 Back to Basics00:46 Meet Debbie Avinger02:46 Lifelong Friendship04:37 Kids and Teaching06:47 Hard Seasons Ahead08:01 Baggage and Jesus11:02 Breath Prayer Practice16:49 Prompted to Reach Out24:19 Isolation and Pride32:49 River of Was38:45 Living in the Is42:31 Closing ThoughtsDebbie Avinger's son has a YouTube Channel!Find it on Youtube @Mr.ShmeeshmoeFor speaking and event inquiries, please contact Deb at: [email protected]
