An Open Message to Toxic Parents
Practical Growth: A Self-Recovery Podcast
11/09/22 • 25 min
I've been getting a lot of heat from toxic parents in the comment section lately. So, this is an open message to every abusive and manipulative parent who hates the message that I spread. Get ready! You're not going to like it.
For everyone else, this episode is very different. It's a love letter to you and the work that I do.
Because the truth is this: the work isn't about me. It's not about feeling good and looking good. It's about making life better for myself and for others. It's about ending the cycles of generational traumas that are destroying families and destroying the planet.

Finding Your True Sense of Self Again
Practical Growth: A Self-Recovery Podcast
10/26/22 • 23 min
One of the hardest parts of reconciling any kind of trauma is rediscovering your sense of self.
Authenticity and our strong sense of self-knowing disappear in the wake of abuse. We're not allowed to tap into that strength because it would pull power away from the people and circumstances that hurt us.
A big part of the healing journey is figuring out who you are again. You must step into the life you truly value, but that only happens when you learn how to truly value yourself, your needs, and your desires.
How do we get back there? In this episode, I'm going to help you rediscover who you really are with a simple and straightforward technique that I use with readers, clients, and even my own family.
What We're Talking About:
- What losing ourselves looks like
- The cost of not knowing who we are
- How to uncover our truest self

What is Your Childhood Trauma Archetype?
Practical Growth: A Self-Recovery Podcast
12/03/21 • 29 min
What It's All About
Childhood trauma encompasses experiences that shape you and change you forever. When you are emotionally, physically, or mentally abused, damaged, or terrorized in childhood it changes the way you see yourself and the cycles you set up for everything from your relationships to then career choices that you make. To understand our childhood trauma we have to pull back some serious layers. And that takes time, and a bit of discomfort too.
That's because childhood trauma damages your brain. But without the tools to counter that brain damage, you get left in the darkness with the inability to manage your life and your basic desires and functions. Want to improve your life? Want to put an end to the cycles of pain, self-flagellation, and resentment that are making you miserable? Looking at your childhood trauma archetype could carry many important clues.
Understanding Childhood Trauma:
- What does childhood trauma look like?
- How does our childhood trauma settle?
- How to deal with our childhood trauma
Additional Resources:

- Trauma Makes You More Prone to Abuse
- How Childhood Trauma Affects Relationships
