In this solo episode, I’m opening up about one of the most tender and complex parts of my healing journey — growing up with emotionally immature parents and the lifelong impact it can have on our nervous systems, relationships, and sense of self.I share what it’s like to carry the invisible weight of over-responsibility, to be the emotional regulator in your family, and to navigate the guilt and grief that comes with creating space or going no-contact. This isn’t just about cutting people out — it’s about reclaiming your energy, your truth, and your right to feel safe in your own body.If you’ve ever felt torn between loyalty and self-preservation, between being the “good daughter” and finally being honest about how much it’s all costing you — you’re not alone. I’ve been there, and I’m still walking this path.I also talk about what helped me come back to myself and how I support others through this work inside my group program, The Unburdened Heart — for those of us who were never really held in the ways we needed.This one’s for the fixers, the feelers, the hyper-independent women who are so damn tired of holding it all.
