The Stuck Stops Here
I am on a healing journey, breaking cycles of toxic family patterns of mental, verbal, and emotional abuse that have plagued my family for generations. My children deserved better than what I got so I embarked on a path of healing, addressing the internal pain caused by the rage, fear, guilt, shame, rejection, manipulation, and neglect that I was raised with. This quest for authenticity and peace is an endless journey of discovery and recovery with no finish line. I hope my story, truth, humor and mistakes inspire others and that is why I am sharing my story.

TSSH 59 - 10 painfully good things and 10 uncomfortable great things
The healing journey was and is not easy for me. It is a continuous and rigorous cycle of aha moments followed by grief followed by acceptance. If your parents were narcissistic, controlling, smothering, unavailable, overly critical, manipulative, angry and emotionally immature...you may feel as lonely and disconnected as I have felt and battled the same crippling anxiety and depression that I did. I fantasized often that my parents would admit their mistakes and makes amends, that I would achieve more success than them and shove it in their face, and that the outside world would see my parents for who they really are and reject them. Having these fantasies reinforced and intensified my misery and kept me stuck. In this podcast I share the knowledge I have acquired during peaks and valleys of my healing journey. I hope it helps.
