27 Jul 2025

Description

Do you ever feel weirdly lonely in your relationships? Like you’re the one always doing the work—overthinking, overgiving, overfunctioning—and you still feel...empty? You’re not crazy. You might just have grown up with an emotionally immature parent.In this special Benson Book Club episode, I break down the first chapter of Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and walk you through the hidden patterns that are silently shaping your love life, self-worth, and ability to trust your instincts. From guilt for feeling unhappy, to people-pleasing, to dating men who “just don’t get it”—this episode unpacks all of it.This one’s for the girls who grew up being the emotional support system for everyone else, and are only now realizing that’s not normal. Let’s heal the inner child, stop normalizing dysfunction, and stop mistaking emotional starvation for love.Tag your best friend, take the quiz, cry a little, and reclaim your standards.Want an ad free podcast experience??
