To an outsider, it was just a passing comment. To us, it was a bomb. This episode reveals how words can wound like weapons, how secrecy can preserve and destroy, and how silence leaves its mark — from my sister’s abusive relationship to my own. Families aren’t the only ones who guard their private “business.” Churches, schools, and organizations do the same, protecting reputation at the cost of truth. Family Business investigates the danger of boundaries that keep secrets hidden away — and the cost carried by those trapped inside.
⚠️ Content Note: This episode discusses sensitive themes, including abuse, domestic violence, and family conflict, and may not be suitable for all listeners. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 in the U.S. for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
