This is the hardest episode I’ve ever made. I’ve never talked in this much detail about my childhood abuse and why I went no contact with my family. For years, I buried memories of sexual, emotional, financial, and physical abuse. But therapy (EMDR) has helped me confront the reality of what I went through — and why cutting ties was the only way forward. 

No contact isn’t glamorous. It’s not just blocking a number and moving on. It’s grieving the living. It’s facing the silence, the loneliness, the stigma. But it’s also choosing yourself, demanding safety in relationships, and creating the life you deserve. 

If you’ve gone no contact or are thinking about it, I want you to know you’re not alone. This community is here for you. Share your story in the comments — let’s make family estrangement less taboo.
