When They Didn’t Protect Us—Because They Were the Ones Who Hurt Us

In this raw and vulnerable episode, Jaz and Kim open up about the painful reality of growing up in homes where safety wasn’t guaranteed—because the very people meant to protect them were also the ones causing harm. From discipline that crossed the line, to the silence that followed, to the complicated love we still carry for our parents—this conversation dives into the unspoken truths of immigrant family dynamics, generational trauma, and what it means to heal while holding complexity. This isn’t about blame—it’s about breaking cycles. It’s about naming what was never named, and learning how to show up for ourselves (and our children) with the softness we always deserved.

It means remembering—with clarity, compassion, and choice.
