a podcast on a mission to normalize going no contact with toxic family
First things first, are you in crisis? start here:
Welcome to a podcast that is not going to tell you to fix it
You have read the books, set boundaries, cried for change, and you were left with no choice but to preserve your peace and the peace of your children by going no contact with your toxic family.
Going no contact is not a trend. It does not mean you gave up, and it does not mean you are a villain. It is a brave and bold decision to realize your worth and stop emotional abuse (even if they are family.)
This community is for anyone who refuses to return for more shit just because they are family.
THE PODCAST
What people are saying
Glad to have found this
Terri has lived it, which gives her so much credibility to share experiences while being very real and unbelivably vulnerable. Thank you Terri, I started from your very first episode today and plan on listening to them all.
Just what you need
A no frills podcast with Terri and her story. Different than others from a therapist (also fantastic) because it's nice to hear from soneone who is not a therpiast and going through it with both parents. It makes the hardest decision you go through easier because you are not alone. Love Terri and her authentic vibe.
Keep nodding my head
I keep nodding my head as I listen because I can relate to so much of what Terri and her guests share! You've had to experience it to understand. And when others understand, it makes this journey feel less lonely. Love this podcast.
Easy Listening
I stumbled upon this podcast when looking for something to help me understand toxic family, a community of like minded people. Since listening I have heard so many great pieces of advice and learned I am definitely not alone when it comes to dealing with toxic, manipulative family members and the need to set boundaries. I enjoy listening every week.
THE BLOG
Season 2 of the Character Outs Podcast will be dropping on March 18th and one of the new things you will see is...THE BLOG!
Here we will chat more in depth about the latest episode of the podcast, share relevant resources and further discuss this no contact with toxic family journey.
So, I love cooking, baking and trying new cocktail recipes. Being in the kitchen is a cathartic activity for me. Whether you love to cook or just have to eat, I got you. I have some delicious and easy recipes and thought it would be a fun way to connect as a community. Speaking of community, if you aren't a part of the Character Outs Instagram community, get over there and hit follow.
BE MY GUEST?
Would you like to be a guest on The Character Outs Podcast? We would love to hear from you!
For so long we were told things like: it didn’t happen like you remember, it wasn’t that bad, you’re being so dramatic, or get a grip. You were probably also told to be quiet, don’t speak bad about the family (what, are we in a Godfather movie?)
Well, those days are over, and your story has the potential to resonate with someone who is also trying to navigate their way through these emotional no contact waters. Your story just may be the validation they need to hear in order to heal and keep walking.
Looking forward to connecting with you.
who the hell am i?
oh hey!
wanna chat?
This no-contact journey is rough. One moment, we are feeling peaceful and happy, and the next, we are in the pits of despair, wondering how we will make it through. Being no contact with toxic family will never feel 'normal,' but it does get easier.
I am not a therapist, mental health counselor, or even a coach. I am simply a former daughter and former sister who has survived a toxic family and is now on a mission to help those who are also on this journey feel less alone. Consider me a friend who gets it.
