Is Estrangement a Luxury for People with Money?
About this episode
Whitney Goodman discusses whether estrangement is a privilege exclusive to the wealthy, challenging common perceptions around family cutoffs.
Is estrangement a privilege for the middle class and the rich? Whitney pushes back on the argument that cutting off family is something only wealthy people do, not because the critique is entirely wrong, but because it's drawing the wrong conclusion. Whitney Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the founder of Calling Home, a membership community that helps people navigate complex family dynamics and break harmful cycles.
