  • Should I Cut Ties With My Sister After Her Cruel Remarks, Even If It Means Losing My Niece?

    Should I Cut Ties With My Sister After Her Cruel Remarks, Even If It Means Losing My Niece?
    Sep 23 2025

    This week on the Big Sister Hotline, we’re talking about family conflict: what happens when the people we’re meant to love unconditionally wound us the most. Our listener has had a painful falling out with her sister after a string of cruel remarks, leaving her torn between setting boundaries and missing the niece she adores. Clem explores the grief of sibling estrangement, the shadow work buried inside cruelty, and why projection often hides unspoken unhappiness. Family ties can bind us in complicated ways; but love, boundaries, and self-respect must coexist if we’re to truly heal.

  • Do Protests Actually Influence Politicians or Create Meaningful Change?

    Do Protests Actually Influence Politicians or Create Meaningful Change?
    Sep 17 2025

    This week on the Big Sister Hotline, we’re talking about protest; why it matters, what it achieves, and how it keeps us human in fractured times. From Gaza to the streets of Melbourne, protest is both a moral stand and a collective lifeline, reminding us that people power has always shaped history. Clem dives into the difference between war and genocide, unpacks the double standards in how resistance is framed, and explores why both nonviolent and violent protest have been essential to liberation struggles. Protest isn’t just about policy- it’s about solidarity, hope, and refusing to give up our humanity.

  • Should I Keep Trying to Reconnect With a Former Work Friend Who Hurt Me?

    Should I Keep Trying to Reconnect With a Former Work Friend Who Hurt Me?
    Sep 9 2025

    This week on the Big Sister Hotline, we’re talking about the heartbreak of friendship; when someone you trusted goes silent, when a workplace turns toxic, when connection crumbles and you’re left wondering what went wrong. Friendship breakups can hurt just as much as romantic ones, but we don’t always give ourselves permission to grieve them. In this episode, Clem explores how we cope, what pop culture can teach us about rupture and repair, and why letting go can sometimes be the most loving thing we do for ourselves.
