In this episode, Belinda revisits her most viral and talked-about conversation, Estrangement Isn’t Betrayal It’s Boundaries and Healing an episode that reached millions, climbed to the top of the charts, and opened a floodgate of stories, pain, and hope.

Now, she’s diving deeper.

You’ll learn what estrangement really is (and isn’t), why adult children create distance, and how to find healing even when reconciliation isn’t possible. This episode is for anyone navigating family pain, breaking generational patterns, or trying to understand the weight of walking away.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why estrangement isn’t betrayal, it’s boundaries and survival
• How Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and trauma can shape us as adults
• The mix of grief, guilt, and relief that comes with creating distance
• Why reconciliation is possible for some — and not for others
• Healing tools such as re-parenting, chosen family, somatic work, and self-compassion
• A guided reflection to reconnect with your younger self and inner child

Protecting yourself and your peace isn’t betrayal, it’s brave. Sometimes healing looks like repair, and sometimes it looks like finally choosing yourself and breaking generational patterns so the cycle ends with you.
