Character Outs

A podcast on a mission to normalize going (and staying) no contact with toxic family. You have read the books, set boundaries, cried for change, and had no choice but to preserve your peace and the peace of your children by going no contact with your toxic family. Going no contact is not a trend, it does not mean you gave up and it does not mean you are a villain. It is a brave decision to realize your worth and stop emotional abuse, even though they are family. This podcast is for anyone who has felt like a villain but refuses to return to more shit because you know, ‘It’s your family!!’

    you knew....

    This episode of the Character Outs podcast is your friendly reminder to keep walking. Even amongst the FA LA LA and peace and joy. (BAH HUMBUG) You knew why you walked away from your toxic family. Don't let the sparkle of the Holidays gaslight you and make you doubt why you walked away.

    A chat with Dr. Sherrie Campbell

    Join me as I chat with Dr. Sherrie Campbell. You may think you know Dr. Sherrie and her list of stellar accomplishments, such as her recent TEDx talk (not all parents are good), flourishing therapy practice, groundbreaking podcast (sherapy sessions: cutting ties with toxic family), and the collection of books she has written, (including her most recent, "Adult Survivors of Emotionally Abusive Parents.") (And to think she is just getting started!) But just wait until you hear how she describes herself!!! One of the things that makes Dr. Sherrie so special is that she's just like us, a survivor of a toxic family, and on this no-contact journey with us. Her wisdom and relatability is a beacon of hope for so many. On this episode you will hear Dr. Sherrie's empowering message, her ability to flip the script on being the scapegoat, and her guidance on what to say when the kiddos ask why Gramma and Grandpa don't come around anymore will leave you feeling inspired to powerfully keep walking on this road of no contact. Dr. Sherrie is the pioneer for destigmatizing the societal perceptions of cutting ties with toxic family and this beautiful soul right here changed my life. *Find Dr. Sherrie on Instagram (you will love her Thankful Thursday messages every week): https://www.instagram.com/dr.sherrie/ *Check out her website: https://drsherriecampbell.com/ *Listen to her podcast: Sherapy Sessions, Cutting Toxic Family Ties: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sherapy-sessions-cutting-toxic-family-ties/id1591691842 *Grab a copy of her most recent book here: https://www.amazon.com/Adult-Survivors-Emotionally-Abusive-Parents/dp/1648482635 Incase no one has told you; it's not you, never has been and you don't have to fix it.

    the tales they tell

    Oh, the tales that our toxic family tell. They can swirl around and behind us like an impending storm. And we thought walking away would stop this!!! (aren't we adorable) Also-let's be real...the tales are NEVER good. On this episode of the Character Outs podcast, we dive into how we can navigate this inevitable fallout on this no contact journey. We discuss: *Bracing for impact *Our response *Remembering the source *Cultivating our peace Also-who does this?!?!?!?! Oh yea..ourr families. As if we needed yet another reason to keep walking. Let's get our heads in the game, remember our worth and keep walking.

    apologies-blah

    On this episode of the Character Outs podcast, we talk about the good ol' apology. Wait, you mean the kind I have to give? No. Ew. Knock it off. I am NOT here for that. Omg, you feel that way about apologies too?? YES! WE CAN DO THIS!!!! We grew up in a toxic family where an apology was: ~forced ~coerced ~weaponized When in reality in a healthy and safe relationship an apology is: ~sincere ~genuine ~leads to both parties to being vulnerable We talk about why we feel that ick associated with giving an apology and how we can get past it. We got this...

    the multiverse

    On this episode of The Character Outs Podcast.. The bitch is BACK! Oh, is it great to be behind the mic again! On this episode, we talk about the multiverse. NO, no...not in the Sci-Fi kinda way, but in the way it pertains to us on this no contact with toxic family. The wonderings of: *What would my life look like had I not had the childhood that I did. *What would my life look like if my toxic family member could just be nice and loving (GASP!) *What if our toxic family member could be present at milestone moments instead of being the absent ass holes that they actually are. But all that matters is TODAY friend. Join me in the multiverse, won't you?
