Today’s episode isn’t an easy listen if you grew up in tough circumstances that impact you today.

This episode is especially for you if you ever notice yourself acting in ways that don’t feel true to who you are or if you struggle to hold onto your sense of dignity

I explore ‘developmental trauma’ and how early experiences of neglect, misattunement, or ongoing stress can shape your adult life today. 

When safety, consistency, and validation are missing - children adapt in order to survive. As adults, those adaptations can show up as anxiety, people pleasing, difficulty with boundaries, emotional overwhelm, or a deep sense that your worth is conditional.

So if you find yourself acting out of character or doing things that don’t feel truly respectful or loving toward yourself, this episode is definitely for you. Make sure to listen - you deserve to understand your patterns.
