Episode 5: The Invisible Contract
From the Series: Roots, Wings, and the Space Between
Welcome back to Rise to Roar—where real-life relationships meet real emotional growth.
Today we’re talking about the Invisible Contract—the unspoken rules, roles, and expectations we often carry into adult family relationships without ever realizing it.
Maybe in your family, not calling back right away is a capital offense. .
Maybe disagreeing feels like betrayal.
Maybe you’re the parent wondering why everything changed once they moved out…
Or the adult child trying to love your family without losing yourself.
Invisible contracts are the emotional agreements we never talked about—but we feel them especially when they’re broken.
In this episode, we’ll name:
What these hidden expectations look like
Why they cause so much confusion and pain
And how to update the “contract” with open, honest communication—so that love doesn’t get lost in assumptions.
