I’ve been struggling with estrangement for 30 years. In this podcast, Whitney and her guests say all the things I’ve thought but was afraid to truly feel. Their completely non-judgmental thoughtfulness and insights have helped me so much - highly recommended.
Listening to this show has made a significant positive impact on my life. It has helped me better understand and navigate my relationship with both my family of origin and my in-laws. It has also helped me process my feelings around these complex and at times difficult relationships. Whitney provides thoughtful comments to listener questions and I really enjoy the pop culture commentary as a way to unpack family dysfunction.
Super well researched. Thanks so much Whitney, can’t put into words how helpful your podcast has been. 💜
This podcast, combined with therapy, has helped me immensely with my mental health and family and personal relationships. I’ve found it particularly helpful to navigate the difficult relationship I have with my parent. I look forward to listening to it each week and always walk away having learned something, if not a multitude of things. Thank you Whitney for all the work you do, I greatly appreciate you!
