What do you do when the people who should love you the most — simply don’t show up?
In this deeply personal episode, I share what it’s been like to become a mother while still grieving the absence of my own. From a pregnancy marked by silence to a postpartum season full of quiet heartbreak, I open up about what it means to set boundaries with the people who gave you life — and protect the children you're raising from inherited emotional wounds.
This episode is for anyone:
- Who has had to mother themselves
- Who grieves someone still alive
- Who is raising children with more intention than they were raised with
- Who is building their own village from scratch
I speak from the truth of being Tlingit, raised in a matriarchal society where presence is everything — and why I’m done confusing blood with love.
She chose silence. I chose peace.
And I’m raising my children to know the difference.
