Listener Note: This episode includes discussion of suicidal ideations.
There are some conversations we avoid because they’re heavy and complicated - and because they bring up shame, grief, and questions that don’t have easy answers.
This episode is one of those conversations. But I’m not avoiding it any longer.
This week on That Greenwich Life, we’re opening the door to a topic so many people are living with quietly: family estrangement. Not the dramatic version people assume — but the slow, painful unraveling that happens when relationships meant to feel safe begin to feel harmful, draining, or deeply confusing. And this can also apply to friends who feel like family – or at least used to.
My guest this week, Bianca Jade - @BiancaJade on Instagram -- is a TV host, content creator, and leading beauty, health, and lifestyle influencer who has openly shared her infertility journey and path to motherhood with a level of vulnerability and authenticity that has helped countless women, men, and families—including me personally. She has appeared on major outlets including the Today Show, CBS Morning News, Dr. Oz, and regional affiliates across the country.
If you’ve ever felt torn between loyalty and self-protection…
If you’ve ever questioned your own reality because “they’re family”…
If you’ve ever carried grief for a relationship that never became what you hoped it would or one that went from feeling safe and familiar to unsafe and unfamiliar…this episode is for you.
