The School of Greatness · Why the Wrong Person Feels Like Home | Sheleana Aiyana · 26 Jun 2026 podcast

Well, you know, part of it I can explain and part of it I feel like is just grace.

I often wonder that myself because I think so many of us go through these things and I wonder, you know, what's the difference between a person who experiences just as much or more trauma and doesn't make it out versus a person who does.

And sometimes I feel that it comes down to knowing that we were loved because even though I went through so much pain and I experienced a lot of abandonment and abuse and all of these things,

There was this part of me that knew that I was loved.

Really?

Yeah.

Like I knew that my mom loved me.

I knew she couldn't care for me.

I think I always knew.

Even though there's a lot of wounding and a lot of relational rupture and virtually no security at all, I still knew that she loved me.

And so that, I believe, is one of the most important things that we carry with us is to know that we are loved.

And so I always carry that as a relational principle as well.

It's like how we...

and remind people that they're loved and that they're cared for.

Even if we go through hard things together, we have traumatic experiences, just having that as a base, I think is what allows us to survive it.

Yeah, you know, there's something about growing up with a single mom.

And I think most people who have experienced that dyad know it's a very deep, intimate relationship.

I mean, all of relationships with our parents in some way are very deep and intimate, even if it's just in our own hearts and minds.

But I had this very deep relationship with my mom.

And because she experienced mental illness and all of these developmental issues, it was more like having a friend.
