For the secret keepers.
Every month at Calling Home, we focus on one powerful theme that shapes family life and relationships. For the month of September, we’re exploring a topic many people carry quietly for years: family secrets.
Family secrets can feel heavy. They shape the way we trust, connect, and see ourselves. Some secrets are kept to “protect” others, some to avoid shame, and some because a family’s unspoken rules demand silence. But secrecy often comes at a cost, and many adults find themselves dealing with the fallout long after the fact.
Family Secrets begins on September 8, 2025 for members of The Family Cyclebreakers Club.
This month you will learn:
- Why Families Keep Secrets: The role of shame, fear, and protection in keeping the truth hidden
- How secrecy creates distance and distrust across generations
- What to do when a family secret is revealed
- How to manage your emotions and your relationships in the aftermath
- Being Told to Keep a Secret: What it does to a child (and later an adult) when they’re forced to carry someone else’s burden
- How to set boundaries around information that isn’t yours to hold
This month, inside the Family Cyclebreakers Club
Every Monday, you’ll receive:
- A new article to help you make sense of your family dynamics
- A worksheet to go deeper and reflect
- A video lesson that breaks down why family secrets hurt
- A script or guide to help you have hard conversations and set boundaries
Each week, you’ll also have the chance to join a support group with other adults dealing with family secrets. These aren’t just calls, they’re spaces where you’ll finally feel seen.
