  • Life changing

    I discovered your podcast during an especially tumultuous time (starring my mother the victim, of course) and needed some additional support in between therapy appointments. I truly feel like I have stumbled upon something life changing with your content. Your show is the warm hug I’ve needed my entire life. Looking forward to connecting more with this community.

    You are not alone in this… totally worth the hour to listen. I have learned so much about why I am who I am. The triggers, the trauma, the gas lighting scapegoating, golden children, people pleasing, and more. So enlightening - learning how to deal and move forward. Thank you Heather
