Have you ever felt like the adult in your own childhood? Or found yourself constantly fixing everyone else’s emotions — even now?

In this episode, we explore 9 subtle but powerful signs you may have grown up in a dysfunctional family. We’ll talk about parentification, emotional neglect, codependency, and the quiet ways childhood trauma can follow us into adulthood.


Whether you’re a cycle-breaker, an adult child of alcoholics, or simply someone learning to trust their own emotions — this is for you.


🕊️ You’re not broken. You’re a canary. And your sensitivity? It’s your superpower.
