The Beginning of a Movement: From Silence to Strength

This podcast is more than stories of survival--it's the birth of a movement. From Silence to Strength--The Beginning of a Movement is a call to every parent, grandparent and family member who has been cut off, shut out or silenced.

When families are torn apart, legacies vanish. Children lose their grandparents stories, songs, and love. Generations drift further away. But, together we can rise. Together, we can get loud.

The Silence Cut Movement is not about blame or shame--its about truth, healing, and love. It's about knowing children learn what they live-so you cutting off Your parents-your children will cut off you-and every generation will continue on---it is about saying boldly that family matters, legacy matters and silence will no longer have the last word.

So, let's put a stop to The Silent Cut.

If you loved your child with everything you had and are now living with silence, this opening episode is for you. Raina Ellis names the myth that "love should be enough", reframes it with compassion--your love was -- IS enough and walks you through how to hold your dignity, protect your peace, and keep faith when love is met with distance.

You will hear gentle teaching, Scripture, a simple S.T.A.Y tool for processing overwhelm, a guided breath-prayer and practical boundaries that honor love without chasing.

We will also name why so many adult children were never taught how to process big feelings--and what we can model now.

Share this with someone in heartache tonight. We heal faster in community than in isolation.
