In this episode, Sammi is joined by Shauna (and returning guest Jess) for a raw and emotional conversation about what happens when the person you trusted most becomes someone you don’t recognize.

Shauna shares how her relationship with her brother—once one of the closest bonds in her life—slowly unraveled, ultimately contributing to the breakdown of her entire family. What started as a shift during after a divorce turned into something much deeper: masks falling, personality changes, and the painful realization that the person she thought she knew wasn’t who they really were.

Together, they talk about the grief of losing someone who’s still alive, how family dynamics can completely change after loss, and what it takes to set boundaries—even when it means walking away from family.

This episode is about acceptance, self-protection, and the strength it takes to choose peace over proximity.
