Ep. 55 - The Reality of Family Estrangement: The Power of Chosen Family

Family is supposed to be a source of unconditional love and support - but what happens when it isn't? In this episode of Cropped, Wendy explores the painful and complex reality of family estrangement, sharing her personal experience and hard-earned insights on letting go. She reflects on the grief, guilt, and ultimately, the courage it takes to choose yourself when family relationships no longer serve your well-being. More importantly, she highlights the power of chosen family - the people who see you, support you, and love you not because they have to, but because they want to. If you've ever struggled with family relationships, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone - and that love, belonging, and connection can be found in the people you choose.
