Where can you listen?

This podcast is all about understanding and navigating through the harsh reality of sibling estrangement. Grieving a living person can be difficult. It can force us to reshape how we think of family, and what can be done to make our lives easier after a series of disappointments that led to disillusionment. Whether your sibling has strong ego defense mechanisms, or exhibits narcissistic traits, we dive deep into the underpinnings of sibling estrangement, in order to empower ourselves all the more, and better understand this reality that we are forced to walk.

Listeners will be given some strategies and insights into how best to keep on empowering themselves in an uplifting and pro-active type of way.

Hosts: Ali-John Chaudhary, Registered Psychotherapist, and Fern Schumer Chapman, Author.
