Episode Synopsis

Feeling unseen and unheard in a relationship that has lost its spark? In this gripping episode of "Quiet, No More," I, Carmen Cauthen, share my deeply personal journey through the emotional turbulence of a fading marriage. Together, we'll explore the isolating impact of dwindling shared interests, the strain of financial stress, and the heavy burden of caring for an indifferent partner. The conversation is raw and real, discussing the pivotal moments that make one reconsider the very foundation of their relationship.In our second segment, we uncover the powerful transformation that comes from choosing personal happiness over societal expectations and material possessions. I recount the life-altering moment when a simple question from an acquaintance helped me realize the importance of living truthfully. By reevaluating relationships and seeking counseling, we emphasize the crucial message of setting a positive example for the younger generation. This episode is a call to find the courage to speak up and address the issues head-on, rather than staying silent and living a lie.====================================Carmen Wimberley Cauthen is an author, speaker, and lover of history, Black history in particular.
