Going No-Contact. Self Preservation Or Selfish?

Hey Lifers!

We have a new drinking game for you all based on our individual ‘habits’ (flaws) and Ben has a very important question for Keeshia that could tear the team apart. Black Friday sales have got the better of some of us and Britt has a nice challenge for Laura during the busiest time of her year. Laura’s really showcasing how different things can be for the 3rd kid. Poppy’s actual birth date and full name are TBC. Britt shares a crazy story about how her dad spent most of his life not knowing his age!

In a recent episode of Oprah’s podcast, Oprah tackled the rise of “going no contact” where adult children cut ties with parents or family. Is it destroying families, or is an act of ultimate self preservation and protecting your mental health?

We speak about:

  • The conversation around emotional safety, mental health and boundaries has changed
  • What was once taboo (cutting ties with parents) is now being discussed openly — especially by our generations
  • There doesn’t seem to be a line in the sand for what is and what is not ‘valid’ for going no contact
  • Why family are the only people we are ‘willing’ to accept bad behaviour from
  • Have we gone too far with ‘boundary’ talk/ don’t have enough grace for our parents?
  • If validation and self reflection are the only solution
