In this solo pod, Karissa takes on the topic of Parental Estrangement. You’ve probably seen it online — stories of adult children going ‘no contact’ with their parents, or posts celebrating cutting off family as a form of healing. But I want to slow that conversation down and look a little deeper.
Why is this happening so much right now? What’s really behind it? And more importantly, what can we do instead of going completely no contact?
In this episode, we’ll unpack how unmet expectations, misunderstandings, and the rise of mental health awareness have all played a role in normalizing estrangement. But I’ll also talk about how sometimes, cutting someone off isn’t always the answer.
