Listen "When They Go Silent"
Episode Synopsis
🎙 Straightway Through with Gina — Helping you speak with clarity, courage, and connection.
Episode 9: When They Go Silent
Episode Summary:
Dani Cooper and I talk about the silence that can break connection—the kind that leaves you feeling unseen, unheard, or unwanted. Dani shares her experience of being on the receiving end of that silence, and the deep hurt it brings. Together, we also look at what might be happening beneath withdrawal—the pain that can lead someone to shut down. Whether you’ve been the one shut out or the one pulling away, there’s something here about finding meaning, reclaiming your sense of control, and letting silence shape you instead of harden you.
