In this episode, I talk about that deep, quiet urge to start over — to find somewhere else when the place you are no longer feels like home.

For many alienated parents, that search isn’t just about geography; it’s about peace. After years of fighting, explaining, and being dismissed, sometimes the only way forward is to step away and breathe somewhere new.

I share what that search has looked like for me — not as an escape, but as a form of survival. Because when everything familiar becomes a reminder of loss, finding “somewhere else” can be the beginning of healing, not the end of hope.

In this episode, I take an honest look at a question many of us ask but rarely get answered — who are the alienators?

I talk about what I’ve seen over the years: how they present themselves, how they manipulate, and why they’re often believed. Alienators don’t always look like villains. Sometimes they appear calm, composed, even caring — until you see what happens behind closed doors.

I’m not here to diagnose or label; I’m here to expose the patterns that tear families apart and to help other parents recognize them sooner. Because understanding who the alienators are is the first step toward stopping the cycle — and protecting what’s left of our connection with our children.

In this episode, I talk about what it really means to keep moving forward when everything in you wants to stop. For parents living through alienation, progress rarely happens in leaps — it happens one measured step at a time.

I share how I learned to slow down, to breathe, and to rebuild my footing after every emotional hit. Some days, the only step I could take was getting out of bed; other days, it was speaking the truth out loud, even when no one seemed to hear it.

Healing isn’t a race. It’s a rhythm — a quiet, deliberate march toward peace. And each small step, no matter how shaky, still counts.

In this first episode of iWasErased: Reflections, I open up about why I started this podcast — and why I believe staying silent about parental alienation is no longer an option.

I talk about how my own experience as an alienated parent and grandparent shaped not just what I write, but how I live. The isolation, the disbelief, the long fight for truth — all of it led me here.

This isn’t about reliving pain; it’s about giving it purpose. It’s the beginning of something I wish had existed when I felt erased. Because when your voice is taken, reclaiming it becomes the first step toward healing.
