What happens when you grow up believing that your ability to be okay depends on whether everyone around you is okay?

In this episode, I open up about an unspoken rule I learned very early in life: if the people around me weren’t okay, I wasn’t okay either.I talk about growing up around struggle, learning to read the room, feeling what other people were feeling, and how easily their emotional state became connected to my own sense of safety.Now, looking back as a parent myself, I can understand the adults who raised me differently. I can recognize that people can do their best and still pass down patterns their children eventually have to unpack.I’m still working through this one.I don’t have a perfectly wrapped answer yet.But sometimes the shift starts with finally recognizing the rule you’ve been living by.#ParadigmShifts #ChildhoodConditioning #EmotionalPatterns #SelfAwareness #PersonalGrowth
