Shadow Puppet Roles: Protecting the ‘Best You’ Authenticity & Enjoying Your Family (The Guidebook)!
Episode 4: You didn’t choose the role.
But you might still be playing it. How to identify the family role you had and decide if it is still working for you. Learning the cost of your current role and how it changes your current connections.
Welcome to Episode 4: Shadow Puppet Roles — where we shine a light on the family scripts that shape us… and sometimes shrink us from the Series Power, Guilt and Holiday Dinners.
Whether you were “the peacemaker,” “the golden child,” “the rebel,” or “the responsible one,” family roles often formed when you were too young to opt in. And here’s the question:
Is that role still working for you today?
In this episode, we talk about how to:
Identify the family role you were cast in (and how it formed)
Understand how that role shows up in your adult relationship with your family.
Do a gut check: What is it costing you now?
Spoiler: The moment you recognize a role, you start to reclaim your real self. Awareness leads to automatic shifts—because the truth has a way of setting us free.
Note: If you’ve ever felt boxed in, mis-seen, or burdened by unspoken expectations—this episode is for you.
Let’s talk about stepping out of the shadows and into authentic connection. Not performance. Not people-pleasing. Just real you… in real relationships.
