In this Q&A episode of Built From Broken, I’m answering some of the most personal questions I’ve received about my relationship with my mom.

We talk about what it’s like growing up with a parent who struggles with mental illness, the confusion it creates as a child, and the understanding that comes with time.

I share how my perspective has shifted as an adult… from anger to compassion, from misunderstanding to awareness… while still acknowledging the very real impact it had on me.

This episode dives into:

• what people often misunderstand about mental illness in parents
• how I’ve learned to separate who my mom is from her illness
• the grief of the relationship we never got to have
• and the boundaries I’ve had to put in place to protect myself and my family

This is a conversation about love, loss, perspective, and healing… and how sometimes, two things can be true at once.

If this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear from you.
