Whether you call it “tough love,” “survival mode,” or just “how we were raised,” our childhoods shape us in ways we’re still discovering as adults. In this episode, Faith gets deeply honest about the fears that come with becoming a parent, the “programming” we carry from our upbringing, and the habits we don’t realize are trauma leftovers. #growthjourney #childhoodtrauma #healingjourney

From funny childhood quirks to the silent anxieties we mask with achievement, we unpack:

How our parents shaped our personalities
Resilience vs survival mode
How to heal without overcorrecting when it’s our turn to parent

We share personal stories, from avoiding dining chairs to recognizing control issues rooted in childhood instability.
We're inviting you into a judgment-free, shame-free space to explore their own experiences.

What’s one childhood belief or habit you’ve had to unlearn as an adult?

Drop it in the comments. We might all realize we’re carrying the same things.

PS: This episode is about awareness, compassion, and breaking cycles—not blaming the people who raised us.
