    Should You Cut Off Your Parents? The No Contact Debate Nobody Wants To Have | Season 02 Episode 7 | Vlad & Angie

    Share your thoughts with us! "Go no contact." It's one of the most common pieces of advice on social media today—but is it always the right answer? In this episode, Vlad and Angie explore the growing trend of cutting off family members and examine it through a Caribbean cultural lens. Drawing from personal experiences with parents, family expectations, and boundary-setting, they discuss the complicated reality behind the advice to simply walk away. Together, they unpack: • What "no contact" actually means  • Why boundaries are different from abandonment  • Caribbean and immigrant family values around loyalty and respect  • The challenge of honoring elders while protecting your mental health  • When distance may be necessary—and when repair may be possible If you've ever struggled with family conflict, cultural expectations, or the pressure to choose between your peace and your people, this episode is for you.  🔗 LISTEN & CONNECT 🌐 Website: https://www.rootsandrhythmpodcast.com 🎙 Buzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rootsandrhythmpodcast 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rootsandrhythmpod 📘 RESOURCES & SUPPORT 📖 The Embrace Method by Vladimir Louissaint  👉 https://www.amazon.com/Embrace-Method-leverage-trauma-dreams/dp/B0CM3V2K5X 👕 Gallon Gear (Support mental health & community)  Use code STAYROOTED  👉 https://gallongear.com 🎤 WANT TO BE A GUEST?
