You think you’re staying together for the kids. But are they truly safe—or just absorbing tension they can’t name?


In this solo episode, I explore the neuroscience of “silent divorce,” where parents remain physically together but emotionally disconnected. Research shows this doesn’t protect children—it rewires their developing brains to expect instability, even when everything looks “fine.”


You’ll learn:

✅ Why kids internalize emotional misalignment even without visible conflict

✅ How chronic tension changes identity and self-regulation

✅ Simple steps to create congruence and emotional safety at home


This episode isn’t about blame—it’s about awareness. And when you shift what your nervous system broadcasts, you change what your child inherits.
