In today's episode, trauma therapist Annalie Howling reveals why shame is the root of all suffering—and why everything else is just a band-aid. If you don't deal with shame, nothing else will work.

From a violent childhood to peaceful parenting, Annalie shares her transformation through EMDR therapy, recovering from self-harm, and building an unapologetic life at 44. She opens up about postnatal anxiety that had her brain skipping to "she is dead" every day, the publishing nightmare that almost broke her, and the friends who disappeared the moment she actually got divorced.

Plus: why she's fiercely calling out "snake oil sellers" purposefully profiteering from others' pain, the non-negotiable boundaries protecting her daughter's energy, and why your trauma isn't an excuse to be a dick. 

Raw, unfiltered wisdom on breaking generational cycles and living completely yourself.
