For years, silence was how I survived.

In this opening episode of the 30-Day Banishment Series, I will begin at the beginning, before the labels, before the explanations, before the fight to be heard. I share what banishment looks like in real life, not as a legal term, but as a lived experience that impacts identity, family, faith, and belonging.

This episode explores the difference between silence and peace, how survival mode can protect us while also keeping us small, and why telling the truth becomes necessary when silence starts to cost more than it saves.

This is not a call-out episode.
It’s a call-back...to voice, to truth, to self episode.

If you’ve ever stayed quiet to survive, wondered if your voice mattered, or questioned whether you were allowed to outgrow the version of you that endured instead of lived, this episode is for you.

Listener takeaway:
You are allowed to outgrow survival mode.
The silence that once saved you does not get to define you forever.
