    Estranged: The Conversation No One Wants To Have

    This week on The Blunt & The Beautiful, psych Taash Balakas (aka our new in-house therapist) is back! And we’re diving into one of the most uncomfortable, messy, and honestly… common topics right now: Estrangement. Yep. Cutting off family. Parents. Siblings. Kids. The whole emotional circus. And before you think this is going to be neat and tidy with a bow on top… it’s not. In this episode, we get into: Why so many people are estranging from family right now (and no, it’s not just “this generation being dramatic”) The reality of boundaries… and why they’re not as simple as Instagram makes them sound The guilt. The grief. The “did I do the right thing?” spiral What happens when the other person doesn’t get it (and probably never will) Grey rock, emotional immaturity, and how to deal with people who refuse to do the work And the big one… can you ever fully feel at peace with cutting someone off? It’s honest, it’s uncomfortable, it’s a little bit confronting… and at times you’ll feel personally attacked (in a good way). Because the truth is…Sometimes choosing yourself comes with a cost. And sometimes that cost is people. No quick fixes. No perfect answers. Just a really real conversation that a lot of people need right now. #thebluntandthebeautiful #mentalhealth #estrangement #familydynamics #psychology #boundaries #therapytalk #realconversations #healingjourney #selfgrowth #emotionalhealth #podcastlife #australianpodcast #womenwhopodcast #truthbombs #nopfilter #hardconversations #innerwork #healingisnotlinear
