You Can Take Care of Yourself, You Don't Need Anybody

from The Glass Child · host Rachel Feichter & Susan Gibb

Glass children grew up taking care of their disabled sibling. They took on roles and responsibilities years ahead of their chronological age and maturity. It left them with a deep sense of duty to others. But it also left some feeling empty, confused, and invisible. What happens when you spend decades caring for everyone else—and then finally turn that care toward yourself? Paula Wiese is a former teacher, a current trauma-informed life coach, and a Glass Child who began learning to take care of herself at the age of 55. She's brave, she's honest, and now she helps other siblings heal from the trauma so many Glass Children experienced. Today, Paula shares her journey—and what she's learned about finally putting yourself in the frame.
