THE NO CONTACT EPISODE - a complete guide (how to and WHY), with Kirstie Pike

You can love someone and still need to walk away.You can miss someone and still know you're safer without them.In this raw and resonant episode of Inner Voice, Jeffrey is joined by Kirstie Pike, creator of She Comes with Baggage, for a conversation that starts with travel and coming out—but lands somewhere deeper: the moment you realize no contact with your parents isn’t the betrayal… it’s the boundary.Together, they explore how queerness can complicate family ties, how silence can protect your peace, and what it means to carve out joy when you’ve been told you don’t deserve it. This episode is full of heart, grief, clarity, and the kind of freedom that only comes after a hard goodbye.What if distance from your family wasn’t estrangement... but alignment?Produced by Zaq Latino.
