Invisible Scars

Holding the Line: Advocacy, Boundaries & Speaking Up with Love


Listen Later

This episode is one of the most personal I’ve ever shared.Recently, my daughter and I walked through something incredibly painful in a space that was supposed to be safe. 


When I chose to advocate for her, the response I received from someone in the mental health field was shocking—and honestly, heartbreaking.In this episode, I read that message aloud (without naming names), and share the truth behind it—not to create conflict, but to start a larger conversation about boundaries, community, emotional safety, and what it really means to stand in integrity.
This is not about blame or cancel culture. This is about holding space for truth—especially when it’s hard. Especially when our kids are watching.If you’ve ever spoken up for your child…

 If you’ve ever been told you're “too much”…
 If you've ever felt dismissed, silenced, or shamed for standing your ground…This episode is for you.


⚠️ Content warning: emotional invalidation, power imbalance, and boundary-crossing from a trusted figure.

This isn’t just a story. It’s a wake-up call.
