The Rising Beyond Podcast
If you're trying to protect your children while navigating an abusive ex, this podcast is for you. Because leaving the relationship didn't end the abuse, and no one prepared you for what came next.
The Rising Beyond Podcast is for protective mothers navigating the overwhelming reality of sharing children with someone who continues patterns of manipulation, coercive control, or emotional abuse after separation. Join Sybil Cummin, licensed professional counselor, who has spent the last decade helping survivors and their children navigate this incredibly difficult chapter. Every week, we share trauma-informed education, nervous system insights, protective parenting strategies, and honest conversations about family court, post-separation abuse, and healing, so you can feel more confident, more grounded, and better equipped to protect both your children and yourself.
Whether you're in the middle of family court, struggling with parenting alongside someone who continues patterns of control, or simply trying to become the parent you want to be after everything you've survived, you'll find validation, practical guidance, and hope here.

Ep 203: Anger After Trauma: What Do You Do With It?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A lot of survivors feel exhausted for a long time.
Physically tired.
Mentally overloaded.
Emotionally drained.
And then one day, something shifts.
Anger shows up.
And what surprises many people is not just the anger. It is the energy that comes with it.
In this episode, we are looking at anger in a different way. Not just as something to manage or calm down, but as something that can actually be useful when you understand how to work with it.
Because anger is one of the few emotions that brings movement back into a system that has been stuck in survival mode.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Why trauma often leads to exhaustion and low energy
• What is happening in your body when anger shows up
• Why anger can feel uncomfortable or even scary
• The ways anger often gets pushed down or turned inward
• How anger can support boundaries and decision making
• The difference between feeling anger and acting on it
• Practical ways to release and direct anger energy
• How anger can reconnect you with your values and your voice
This episode is especially helpful if you have started to feel more anger and are not sure what to do with it.
