In today’s episode, Elizabeth sits down with Vienna Pharaon, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of The Origins of You, to explore how the family you grew up in shapes the way you love, communicate, and respond in relationships. Vienna shares how her own childhood experiences influenced her work and explains why many of our adult patterns are rooted in unresolved origin wounds formed early in life.

They discuss the five core wounds of worthiness, belonging, prioritization, trust, and safety, and how they show up in dating, conflict, and intimacy. Vienna explains why big emotional reactions often point to older pain and why awareness alone is not enough to create change. She shares how curiosity, grieving, and intentional healing work can help you break repeating patterns and build healthier relationships moving forward.
