In this empowering follow-up to my interview with George Haymaker, we dive even deeper into the science—and hope—of neuroplasticity. If you’re an Adult Child of an Alcoholic or grew up in any kind of dysfunctional environment, this episode is your reminder that you are not broken—you’re wired for survival. And the beautiful news? You can rewire those survival patterns into pathways of healing and self-trust.

We unpack how the brain forms habits through a loop of stimulus → response → reward, and how the mind will always seek out what feels familiar, not necessarily what’s healthy. Drawing from the work of experts like Dr. Tracey Marks, we explore why breaking old emotional habits isn’t about "just stopping”—it’s about replacing them with something better.

You’ll walk away with five simple, science-backed strategies you can start using today to gently reshape your emotional and behavioral patterns—no guilt, no overwhelm, just small intentional shifts that build over time.

🧠 Highlights include:

• Why your brain resists change—and how to outsmart it with compassion
• The truth about emotional reflexes (and how to rewire them)
• 5 easy neuroplasticity tools to help you break free from limiting beliefs
• How to create new emotional reward loops that support healing and joy
• One empowering reframe to stop “rescuing” and start supporting (without self-abandoning)

✨ Plus, I share personal insights and tips tailored specifically for the ACOA journey, because healing looks different when you’ve been the peacekeeper, fixer, or invisible child.

This episode is your invitation to start reshaping the stories you’ve been living out unconsciously. Because your brain really is Play-Doh—and you get to be the sculptor now.

Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in! If this episode spoke to your heart, just know there’s even more support waiting for you.

I work with people who are ready to heal from the inside out — especially those dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, inflammation, gut issues, or burnout. If you’ve been struggling with symptoms your doctors can’t fully explain, it may be that your past is still living in your body. Unhealed emotional wounds and nervous system dysregulation often show up as physical and mental health challenges — and I’m here to help you break that cycle.
