Estranged & Rearranged

Why does family estrangement seem to be happening everywhere?

In this thought-provoking episode of Estranged & Rearranged, Candi Morris sits down with licensed social worker, content creator, and family advocate Kat Johnston to discuss the growing rise of family estrangement, no contact culture, therapy language, mental health, and what she calls the "perfect storm" driving family division today.

Kat shares insights from her clinical background, social media advocacy, and work with a growing coalition focused on preserving family relationships, improving mental health practices, and bringing awareness to the long-term impact of family estrangement.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why family estrangement is increasing
• The "perfect storm" behind no contact culture
• Social media's influence on family relationships
• Therapy language and family conflict
• When no contact is protection versus punishment
• Why accountability matters
• Family resilience and emotional tolerance
• Mental health and personality disorders
• The future impact of estrangement on families and society

Whether you're an estranged parent, estranged adult child, therapist, social worker, or someone trying to understand the growing divide in modern families, this conversation offers valuable insight and perspective.

You are not alone.
