322. How to Move Past the Dysfunction or Trauma of Unhealthy Parenting

Growing up in a dysfunctional or traumatic home can shape every part of your life: your sense of self, your relationships, your ability to trust, and even how you handle stress. If you’ve ever wondered why you struggle with setting boundaries, attract emotionally unavailable partners, or feel like you have to earn love, the roots lie in your upbringing. But here’s the thing: your past doesn’t have to equal your future. It equals your present. What you do now is what predicts your future. Understanding what happened, how it affects you, and how to move forward is the key to breaking free from dysfunctional patterns and creating a life filled with real connection, joy, and ease. Today, you’ll learn signs to look out for and my five steps to heal and move forward.
