In this episode of Let’s Get Vulnerable, I’m diving deep into how our early relationships with parents shape the way we show up in love and life. I share why it’s so important to recognize and heal our parent wounds — even if we didn’t experience “obvious” trauma — and how those early experiences form the blueprint for our adult relationships. I’ll walk you through how to grieve unmet needs, re-parent yourself, and create healthier, more secure connections moving forward.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

  • How your relationship with your parents created the blueprint for your adult attachment style — even if there wasn’t “obvious” trauma.
  • Why grieving unmet childhood needs is essential for your emotional healing and true self-care.
  • Practical strategies I teach for re-parenting yourself, recognizing your unique needs, and building healthier relationships — without needing reconciliation with your parents.
