Adult Child of Dysfunction
E 178: Healing the Adult Child: Jill Krzyzanowicz on Trauma, Addiction, and Finding Her True Identity"
06 May 2025
In this deeply moving and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Jill Krzyzanowicz—known to readers by her pen name, Margo Reilly—as she shares her powerful story of transformation, healing, and hope. After decades in public education, Jill now uses her voice and platform to inspire others to release the victim mentality and take ownership of their healing journey.Jill opens up about growing up as an adult child of dysfunction—navigating childhood violence, chaos, and trauma—and how each sibling can walk away from the same household with a completely different perspective and emotional imprint. We dive into how these early experiences shape our adult relationships and coping mechanisms, and how understanding this can lead to lasting change.We also discuss the realities of addictive personalities: Jill, now living a sober lifestyle, reflects on the deeper patterns behind addiction and how the underlying traits often persist, even after substances are removed. Her insights shed light on what it truly means to heal not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.From cancer survival to multiple weight loss surgeries, a shocking DNA discovery, and breaking generational patterns, Jill’s story is one of radical resilience and raw authenticity. Her message is clear and empowering: our family of origin does not define us—and while trauma may not be our fault, healing is our responsibility.Connect with Jill:🌐 www.justbeingjill.com📘 facebook.com/justbeingjill
