Even if you don’t think about your childhood often, the patterns it shaped can still be running the show. In this episode, I’m unpacking powerful and often overlooked ways that childhood trauma continues to affect you in adulthood.

This one’s especially for you if you’ve always felt like the high-functioning one, the strong one, or the one who holds everything together… but underneath it all, you’re tired, disconnected, or repeating the same painful patterns.

We’ll explore:

  • Why so many women learned to disconnect from their emotions and now find it hard to trust how they feel


  • How perfectionism and emotional detachment are often coping strategies that began in childhood


  • What self-abandonment can look like in adulthood — and why it’s often mistaken for being “strong” or “easygoing”


  • How trauma wires your nervous system to repeat what’s familiar, even if it’s painful


  • The deeper connection between childhood emotional neglect and attachment patterns in adult relationships


  • What it really takes to start breaking these patterns and feel safe being your full self


Whether you’ve done years of work or you’re just beginning to connect the dots, this episode offers clarity and compassion for the parts of you that are still trying to survive — even when you want to thrive.
