How much does your childhood shape the person you become as an adult?

In the first episode of the TRC Podcast: Chaos in the Family series, Ruth and Carol sit down with Ivanna, a psychologist who works with young people, children, and young mothers, for an important conversation about family, parenting, childhood experiences, and emotional development.

Ivanna explains why the family environment matters so much during childhood and how the way parents treat, discipline, communicate with, and show love to their children can influence how those children understand relationships later in life.

Children learn from what they experience at home. When affection, discipline, conflict, or even violence becomes what a child associates with love, those experiences can influence their beliefs and behaviors as they grow older.

The conversation explores childhood trauma, parenting, family dynamics, emotional development, discipline, love, mental health, and the ways childhood experiences can affect adulthood.

This episode is not about blaming parents. It is about understanding how our upbringing can shape us—and how awareness can help us break unhealthy cycles and create healthier families for the next generation.

What happens when losing a loved one doesn't bring a family together, but instead tears it apart?

Welcome to the first episode of the new TRC Podcast series, Chaos in the Family.

In this emotional episode, Ruth and Carol sit down with Esther, who shares the painful story of losing her father and how his death changed the relationship between her family and her father's side of the family forever.

Esther explains how her father was diagnosed with cancer and was initially given an estimated five years to live. But just six months after his diagnosis, the family received the devastating news that he had passed away.

During the difficult period when her father was in hospital, tensions between the two sides of the family began to rise. Esther recalls an encounter with her grandparents at the hospital and describes how some relatives accused her family of contributing to her father's condition, including claims that they were not taking care of him properly.

After the funeral, the conflict did not end. Instead, the relationship between Esther's family and her father's side became increasingly strained, with communication breaking down and deep resentment developing between the two families.

In this episode, Esther opens up about grief, family conflict, accusations, broken relationships, and what happens when unresolved pain continues long after a loved one's death.

Chaos in the Family is a new TRC Podcast series exploring the difficult family situations people often experience but rarely talk about openly.
