When They Didn’t Protect Us—Because They Were the Ones Who Hurt Us
In this raw and vulnerable episode, Jaz and Kim open up about the painful reality of growing up in homes where safety wasn’t guaranteed—because the very people meant to protect them were also the ones causing harm.

This isn’t about blame—it’s about breaking cycles. It’s about naming what was never named, and learning how to show up for ourselves (and our children) with the softness we always deserved.

Is it a Boundary… or a Wall?
In this episode of Work Hard, Cry Never, Jasmin and Kim dive into the messy line between protecting your peace and shutting people out. Growing up in households where “no” felt like disrespect, boundaries were never modeled for us—so as adults, we’re left figuring it out on our own. Through raw personal stories, we unpack what happens when boundaries aren’t respected, how gaslighting complicates family dynamics, and why silence can feel safer than honesty. We also explore what it means to rewrite the script for our kids, showing them that boundaries aren’t rejection, but love with clarity. This is a conversation about healing, survival, and learning that you can honor yourself without losing connection.
