In this raw and revealing episode of Real Talk with Tina and Ann, we dive into the hidden dynamics that shaped so many of our families growing up—back when terms like gaslighting didn’t exist, and silence was the coping mechanism of choice.

Our guest reflects on a time when secrets were buried, feelings were ignored, and moving on was the only acceptable option. “Somewhere below the surface,” she says, “what we think we see is real life”—a powerful truth that resonates for anyone raised in an era of unspoken pain and emotional survival.

This episode explores the impact of generational silence, the emotional residue of things left unsaid, and how revisiting our past with today’s understanding can unlock new healing.

If you've ever felt like your childhood was shaped by what wasn't said, this one’s for you.
