This episode is a life update… and a big one.
Terin sits down and opens up about the whirlwind of events that unfolded in her life—events so intense and unexpected that they led to packing up and moving within 48 hours. From navigating the impact of her ex-husband’s instability and manic behaviors to making rapid, high-stakes decisions for her safety and her kids, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really looks like when life forces you to pivot—fast.
But this isn’t just about what happened. It’s about what shifted.
Terin shares what it took to finally release the pressure of “playing nice” in co-parenting, the emotional toll of trying to control an uncontrollable situation, and the moment she realized that protecting her peace—and her children—meant letting go of the narrative she had been trying to hold together.
We talk about:
This episode is raw, honest, and deeply empowering for anyone who’s ever felt stuck trying to manage someone else’s behavior just to keep the peace.
Sometimes the most loving thing you can do—for yourself and your children—is stop shrinking, stop over-functioning… and walk away from the chaos. 💛
