Family is meant to be a place of love, safety, and support, but for many, it can also be a source of deep pain and unresolved trauma. In this episode of the Just Us Podcast, Rodney and Qui explore the reality of family breakdowns and how trauma can impact relationships between parents and children at any stage of life.

They discuss how unresolved pain can lead to children distancing themselves from their parents, both at a young age and later in adulthood, and how, in some cases, parents can also be the source of harm. Through honest reflection, Rodney and Qui talk about the power of God in breaking generational trauma, while also acknowledging that some wounds are so deep and painful they take time, patience, and healing to confront.

Drawing from personal experiences, they share how their own parenting styles weren’t built from a guidebook, but through trials, tribulations, and lessons learned by observing what their parents did right and wrong. The conversation expands to family breakdowns we see daily in the news, on television, and across social media, along with their thoughts on why these issues are so prevalent today.

This episode is a raw and necessary conversation about healing, accountability, faith, and the hope of restoring what’s been broken when possible.

Tune in for a real, compassionate discussion about family, trauma, and the long road toward understanding and healing.

In this episode of the Just Us Podcast, Rodney and Qui dive into the realities surrounding the recent government shutdown that, at the time of this recording, had no clear end in sight and left many Americans struggling to provide for their families. Although the shutdown has since ended, the impact it had on everyday people sparked an important and necessary conversation.

They break down the growing frustration many people feel toward the government, especially as Americans continue to face financial strain, limited assistance, and rising costs of living—even without a shutdown in place. The conversation goes deeper into the everyday challenges families are already dealing with and how moments like these expose bigger issues within the system.

This episode is about awareness, empathy, and understanding the real-life consequences of political decisions on working families and communities across the country.

We also want to acknowledge and apologize for releasing this episode later than planned—but we’re back, focused, and better than ever.

Tune in for an honest and timely discussion about where America is, where it’s falling short, and what these moments mean for the people living through them.

Politics plays a huge role in shaping our everyday lives, but it can also be one of the most divisive forces in our society. In this episode of the Just Us Podcast, we take a deep dive into the current issues facing our government and communities. We explore how the decisions being made today affect our families, neighborhoods, and the future we’re building.

We also talk about the power of being active and why it’s so important to stay informed, get involved, and work to create positive change right where you are. Along the way, we reflect on the mistakes and broken systems we see in today’s society and how these factors have brought us to where we are now.

But this conversation isn’t just about politics, it’s about unity. We bring the discussion back to faith and the role the church can play in healing divisions. Instead of destruction and dividing, we focus on what it truly means to “love thy neighbor” and why coming together for a greater cause is the only way forward.
