If you haven't checked out episodes 1&2, go back, do that so you know who the f*ck I am. But today, I want to talk about the elephant in the room that is: where did all of our bullshit come from? And to be clear, we all carry bullshit of some sort. Perfect parenting doesn't exist nor will it ever… but its safe to say the bullshit that we carry stems from our childhood. And for me, after lots of therapy and personal development, I can connect essentially every dot, good and bad, back to how I was raised.

I want to talk about a powerful personal development tool called the Enneagram, how it changed my life, and from there how I was able to heal from my narcissistic parenting.

Disclaimer right off the bat as I am going to be talking about domestic violence so if you are triggered by this topic, I'll see you on the next episode. With that said, it's time to tell my story and the honest one. My childhood look great on the outside but it was anything but on the inside and just from the title of this episode, you probably know where I'm going with it. I want to share in case you or someone you know is in a similar situation and I want you to know there's a way out.
