Episode 2: When No Contact Becomes the Only Choice
In Episode 2 of The Black Sheep Diaries Podcast, Dr. Michelle Scoggins explores one of the hardest, most misunderstood decisions a Black Sheep can make: going no contact. We’ll unpack why this choice is never about hate or punishment—it’s about survival, healing, and finally choosing peace over chaos.
✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why families push Black Sheep toward no contact
- The emotional toll of choosing yourself over dysfunction
- How to navigate grief, guilt, and freedom on the other side
This conversation is about releasing shame, reclaiming your voice, and understanding that no contact is not cruelty—it’s courage.
