What happens when the people who raise you are hurting in ways they can’t name, let alone heal? What becomes of the child who learns to decode silence, anticipate explosions, or tend to the emotional fires of others before tending to her own breath?

This episode is a reckoning with the inheritance no one asked for, the ghost stories that aren’t told out loud, but live in our nervous systems, in our relational patterns, in the way we breathe (or forget to). We name the sacred ache of growing up with parents who struggle with mental health—and the invisible labor of surviving that terrain.

This is not just about what hurt.It’s about what we know in our bones.It’s about breaking the spell of silence and reclaiming our sovereign names.

Tune in, witness yourself, and remember—you are not alone in the remembering.

with Love & Devotion,

K” Angelique (YA)
