In Episode 60 of After the Quiet, I share the moment everything shifted—our house sold. What should have been a logistical step during separation quickly became a life-altering decision: move forward separately or stay together and try to fix the marriage. Despite plans to downsize and rebuild, we ended up in a bigger home, farther away, and deeper in a cycle of control.

This episode explores how major life transitions—like selling a home and moving—can overshadow deeper relationship issues, making it easier to stay in unhealthy dynamics. If you’ve ever ignored your instincts to keep things together for your family, this story will resonate.
