I felt so much pain, then came Alek.
I had to make the very hard decision, after years of working on myself, personal development and so forth, to let my sister, my brother, and my mother go — basically kick them out of my life. Their toxicity not only stalled but grew by generation, and all I knew was that I needed to let them go. And I started it. But it felt so painful until I booked Alek, and he himself had to undergo this particular situation over and over. He was able to make me understand through talking to me about his experience as a peer, and that really resonated with me.
It’s still not easy, but I feel I get now, that no matter how hard I work on myself — if the people that are close to me are toxic, so will I be. Especially family, as they will trigger you and you will stay stuck. And that, I knew for sure, was no longer an option for me.
So thank you, Alek.
estrangement
is hard — no matter which side you’re on.
Whether you’re the one walking away or the one being left behind, it hurts.
The reasons might feel important, even necessary — especially when the relationship is toxic. And sometimes, leaving truly is the healthiest thing you can do. But the real ache? It’s being cut off from those you once loved, relied on, or were simply used to.
It takes time to process. Time to find your footing again.
And it starts with one radical shift:
Putting your own well-being first.
That’s not easy — especially for those of us who were never taught to love ourselves, or for parents who’ve been cut off by their adult children, or for children who’ve had to walk away from toxic environments. The sword cuts both ways.
But healing is possible. Clarity is possible. Peace is possible.
If you’re ready to make sense of the mess, this package is for you.
You don’t have to do this alone.
