Finding LIFE Podcast: Parenting From Your Trauma

Описание: Finding LIFE – Season 2 begins with a necessary question: What did love mean to us before it ever felt safe?

This opening episode introduces the unhealed definition of love—how many of us learned that love was something to earn, perform for, or maintain rather than something to experience and rest in. From people-pleasing to perfectionism, emotional suppression to over-functioning, this session explores how unhealed love quietly shapes the way we parent, the way we show up in relationships, and the seeds our parents unknowingly planted in us.

Finding LIFE is a multigenerational podcast, intentionally speaking to middle schoolers, high schoolers, and parents/caregivers at the same time. This episode bridges those worlds—helping young people name what they feel but can’t always explain, while inviting adults to reflect on what they modeled, normalized, or inherited.

We unpack:

•How performance often replaced presence as “love”
•Why being “good,” “easy,” or “strong” became survival tools
•How parenting styles are shaped more by unhealed wounds than intention
•What it looks like to redefine love without blame—only awareness

This isn’t about shaming parents or burdening children with adult insight. It’s about shared language, honest reflection, and breaking cycles gently but intentionally.

Season 2 of Finding LIFE is about clarity, repair, and redefining the emotional contracts we’ve been living under—so the next generation doesn’t have to confuse exhaustion with love.

This is where the conversation begins.
Not with answers—but with truth, awareness, and space to grow together.

Welcome back to Finding LIFE.
