Maybe you're like me — you grew up thinking your childhood was “good.”

There was no big trauma. Not much screaming and fights, no chaos.

Your parents were around. You had everything you needed… on paper.

But what if I told you that a childhood that looked good can still leave deep emotional wounds?

In my case, it wasn’t just the “bad” things that happened — It was the good things that didn’t.

The safety, the attunement, the emotional presence I never knew I was missing sometimes.

If you feel emotionally numb, unworthy, or like you never quite belong —this might be yours too.

In this video, I’ll share how I discovered the hidden impact of emotional neglect, the surprising ways it showed up in my life and ruined my relationships, and the 5 steps I actually needed to go to heal and finally build real, connected relationships.

And let me tell you: It wasn’t just therapy!
