Adult Child of Dysfunction

What happens when a diagnosis finally gives you an explanation for why you've struggled—but then starts becoming another label you carry?In this jpowerful episode, I sit down with Dene Dubois, for an incredibly open conversation about borderline personality disorder, childhood trauma, abandonment, trust, shame, relationships, and what it means to take your personal power back.Dene shares his experience growing up in a deeply dysfunctional home with a mother struggling with bipolar disorder and a father dealing with alcoholism and compulsive gambling. He also opens up about receiving a BPD diagnosis at age 50 and the complicated relationship he's had with that label.We talk about something I see so often in my own work with adult children: the fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, intense emotional reactions, people pleasing, and that immediate assumption of “What did I do wrong?” when someone pulls away. Denis gives a powerful real-life example of how something as simple as an unanswered message can activate those old fears.But this conversation goes far beyond a diagnosis.We explore the difference between understanding a label and becoming the label, why shame doesn't create healing, and how the things we once viewed as weaknesses can sometimes become part of our purpose.Dene has taken his lived experience and created BPD Raw as a place where people can speak honestly about mental health without hiding behind clinical language or stigma. His message at the end of our conversation says it beautifully:Never let someone silence your voice.If you've ever felt defined by a diagnosis, your childhood, your mistakes, or someone else's opinion of you, this conversation is for you.🔗 CONNECT WITH DENE DUBOISBPD Raw Website:BPD RawFacebook:Follow BPD Raw on FacebookInstagram:Follow Dene on InstagramYouTube:BPD Raw on YouTubeDene also discusses his books The Places I Didn't Belong and Maybe I Did Belong, Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

Have you ever set a boundary... and then immediately felt the need to explain it?And then explain your explanation?Maybe you soften what you said, send another text, replay the conversation for hours, or start wondering whether you did something wrong.For many adult children of dysfunctional families, being misunderstood doesn’t just feel uncomfortable. It can feel unsafe.In this week’s Tammy’s Takes, I build on one powerful idea from my conversation with Nima Rahmany:“Learn how to expand your capacity to be misunderstood.”That stopped me.Because so many of us grew up learning to monitor everyone else’s moods, reactions, and opinions. We became experts at reading the room, keeping the peace, people pleasing, explaining ourselves, and making sure everyone else was okay.Eventually, another person’s perception of us can become connected to our own sense of safety.So when someone is disappointed in us, disagrees with us, or thinks we're selfish, our immediate response can be:“I need to fix this.”But do you?In this episode, we explore the difference between healthy communication and overexplaining from fear.I talk about why someone being disappointed in your boundary doesn’t automatically mean your boundary is wrong, why repairing a relationship is very different from abandoning yourself to save it, and how self-trust begins to grow when you stop needing everyone else to agree with your choices.I’ll also give you one question to start asking yourself when you notice that urge to explain:“Am I explaining because this information is actually necessary... or because I’m afraid of what they’ll think about me if I don’t?”Healing isn't about becoming someone who doesn't care what anyone thinks.It's about becoming grounded enough in who you are that someone else's opinion doesn't determine how you feel about yourself.Because maybe freedom isn't getting everyone to understand you.Maybe freedom is understanding yourself enough that you no longer need everyone else to.💜 DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?If you recognize yourself in the people pleasing, overexplaining, fear of disappointing others, difficulty setting boundaries, or constantly worrying about what other people think of you, I'd love to talk with you.Book a FREE Clarity & Calm Call with me.We'll talk about what's showing up in your life, the patterns you're beginning to recognize, and how experiences from your childhood may still be influencing your relationships, boundaries, confidence, and self-trust today.There's no pressure.

Why do some relationships feel safe while others leave you anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly questioning yourself? The answer may have less to do with your partner—and far more to do with the attachment patterns your nervous system learned in childhood.In this episode of the Adult Child of Dysfunction Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Nima Rahmany, creator of the Becoming Trigger Proof® methodology, to explore how unresolved attachment wounds continue to influence our adult relationships, emotional reactions, boundaries, and sense of self. Through his own personal story and years of clinical experience, Dr. Nima explains why healing isn't about becoming "triggerless." It's about learning how to regulate your nervous system, repair relationships, and respond instead of react.Together, we discuss why conflict itself isn't the problem—it's the lack of repair afterward that slowly erodes trust. We also explore anxious and avoidant attachment, emotional attunement, people pleasing, codependency, childhood survival patterns, and how the nervous system quietly shapes the way we show up in every relationship.One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation is the reminder that you can't think yourself to safety—your body has to feel safe first. That shift alone has the power to change the way you approach healing, parenting, communication, and connection.🎁 Free Gift from Dr. NimaIf you're curious about your own attachment style, Dr. Nima is offering his Attachment Style Assessment completely free.👉 Take the free assessment here:https://go.drnima.com/it11rYou can also learn more about Dr. Nima and his Becoming Trigger Proof® methodology at:🌐 https://becometriggerproof.com/If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same relationship patterns or why certain situations trigger such intense emotional reactions, this episode will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface—and remind you that healing is possible.Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

Have you ever stopped to wonder if the person you think you are... is actually the person you had to become to survive?In this week's Tammy's Takes, I'm reflecting on one of the most thought-provoking ideas from my conversation with author Megan DeMatteo, and taking it one step further. As adult children, many of us spend years believing that our people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, hypervigilance, or difficulty trusting others is simply part of our personality. But what if those behaviors aren't your identity at all? What if they're survival strategies your nervous system developed to keep you safe?In this episode, I invite you to look beneath those patterns and ask a powerful question that I often use with my coaching clients:"Who would I be if I no longer believed I had to survive?"Together, we'll explore how childhood experiences shape the beliefs we carry into adulthood, why those beliefs often feel like who we are, and how healing begins when we separate our authentic self from the adaptations that once protected us. I'll also guide you through a simple reflective exercise that can help you reconnect with the person underneath the fear, the people-pleasing, the perfectionism, and the constant need to prove your worth.If you've ever felt like you've lost yourself while trying to keep everyone else happy, this episode is for you. My hope is that you'll walk away with more compassion for yourself, a deeper understanding of your survival patterns, and the reminder that you are not broken—you adapted.If you're ready to go deeper, I'd love to help you continue your healing journey.

Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to know who you really are after growing up in a dysfunctional family? Why setting boundaries feels uncomfortable, emotions feel overwhelming, or you find yourself living from survival instead of authenticity?In this episode of the Adult Child of Dysfunction Podcast, I sit down with writer and author Megan DeMatteo to explore the healing power of journaling, inner child work, and learning to reconnect with the parts of ourselves that had to adapt just to survive. Growing up with an alcoholic father, Megan shares how writing became much more than creative expression—it became the bridge that helped her understand her childhood, uncover the different "inner children" she had developed for protection, and begin reclaiming the person she truly is.Together, we talk about why so many adult children struggle to trust themselves, how survival adaptations often become mistaken for personality, and why healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about remembering who you were before trauma taught you who you had to be. We also discuss emotional sobriety, dissociation, perfectionism, identity, and why journaling can become one of the most powerful healing tools available.If you've ever wondered why you feel like you're constantly performing, staying strong, or taking care of everyone else while losing yourself in the process, I think this conversation will deeply resonate with you. More importantly, I hope it reminds you that healing isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have been waiting to be seen all along.Connect with Megan DeMatteo📖 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/megdematteo✍️ Substack:https://substack.com/@megdematteoHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

Have you ever listened to a podcast, read a book, or had a conversation that unexpectedly left you feeling anxious, emotional, or overwhelmed? Maybe your first thought was, "Why am I still getting triggered?" or "Shouldn't I be further along by now?"If so, this week's Tammy's Takes is for you.Inspired by my conversation with Rachel, I wanted to remind you of something we often forget: healing isn't a competition, and your nervous system sets the pace. Every person's journey is different, and comparing your healing to someone else's only creates more pressure, shame, and self-judgment.In this episode, I share one of my favorite tools that I teach coaching clients: Notice. Name. Need. Instead of criticizing yourself for having a strong emotional reaction, you'll learn how to become curious about what your body is trying to communicate. We'll explore why healing isn't just an intellectual process, why your nervous system responds before your mind can explain what's happening, and how listening to yourself instead of pushing yourself is one of the greatest acts of self-trust.Most adult children grew up learning to ignore their own needs while focusing on everyone else's. Healing asks us to reverse that pattern—not by forcing ourselves to process everything at once, but by learning to pause, notice what's happening inside of us, and respond with compassion instead of criticism.If you've ever felt like you're falling behind in your healing journey, I hope this episode reminds you that you are not behind. You're exactly where you need to be. Healing doesn't happen by rushing through your pain. It happens one safe moment, one small act of self-awareness, and one compassionate choice at a time.If you're ready to continue your healing journey, I'd love to invite you to explore my signature course, Trials to Triumph: An Adult Child's Beginning Roadmap to Your Healing Journey.

What if healing from trauma isn't about becoming the person you were before it happened, but learning to understand and have compassion for the person you are today?In this episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, I sit down with Rachel Buckmaster for an honest conversation about living with PTSD and what healing has actually looked like for her.Rachel was diagnosed with PTSD at 18 and has spent years working through her experiences with therapy, self-awareness, and more recently EMDR.But this conversation isn't about pretending that healing makes everything disappear.We talk about what happens when trauma shows up as perfectionism, overworking, shame, isolation, difficulty slowing down, and that constant feeling that you have something to prove.Rachel also shares one of the biggest lessons she's learned: sometimes being gentler with yourself actually helps you move forward more than constantly pushing yourself to "do better."In this episode, we talk about:• What PTSD can look like beyond the stereotypical flashback• Why trauma can stay with us long after the event is over• Rachel's experience with EMDR• How shame can fuel perfectionism and overworking• Why high-functioning doesn't always mean someone is okay• Learning to identify and name your emotions• The importance of self-compassion in trauma recovery• Why talking about what happened can help break isolation• Learning to become curious instead of judgmental about your reactions• Why healing doesn't have to happen overnightMost importantly, this episode is a reminder that there IS hope.Your childhood and your trauma may have shaped parts of who you became, but they do not have to define the rest of your life.You can understand yourself differently.You can learn new ways of responding.You can reconnect with yourself.And you can build a life beyond survival.CONNECT WITH RACHELWww.rachelbuckmasterauthor.comWebsite: https://www.slaybay.co.ukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@slaybaeteamInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/slaybaeclub/Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

Have you ever caught yourself wondering, "Was my childhood really that bad?" Maybe you've compared your experiences to others and convinced yourself that because someone else had it worse, your struggles today shouldn't matter.But what if that's the wrong question?In this week's Tammy's Takes, I'm reflecting on one of the most powerful moments from my conversation with trauma specialist Stacey Uhrig, who said, "Trauma isn't the event... it's the aftermath. It's the impact of what happened." That simple statement led me to ask a different question—one I ask nearly every coaching client I work with: Is it still affecting the way you live today?In this episode, I'll walk you through a simple but powerful coaching exercise to help you uncover the beliefs that may have formed during childhood and quietly shaped the way you see yourself today. Together, we'll explore how experiences from years ago can continue to influence your relationships, boundaries, confidence, people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, and even your nervous system.Healing isn't about deciding whether your story was "bad enough." It's about understanding the meaning your younger self attached to those experiences and recognizing that the survival patterns that once protected you don't have to define your future.If you've ever struggled with feeling like you're not enough, believing you have to earn love, or constantly putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own, this episode will help you connect the dots with compassion instead of judgment. Because when you understand why your behavior makes sense, you can finally begin to change it.I actually think this is the "voice" we want for Tammy's Takes going forward. The guest episodes are about the conversation. The Tammy's Takes summaries should feel like you're inviting someone into a short coaching session. They should leave readers thinking, "She understands me. I need to listen to this." That's the feeling that turns casual listeners into loyal subscribers—and eventually into coaching clients.yes, that is exactly what i am going for.

I made the ending feel less "salesy" and more like a natural continuation of the conversation. Someone who just had an "aha" moment should feel invited—not pitched.Captivate Episode SummaryHave you ever found yourself wondering, "Was my childhood really that bad?"

What if your childhood trauma didn't look like trauma?Many adult children grow up believing they "didn't have it that bad." Yet they still struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, low self-worth, and feeling like they have to earn love.In this episode of the Adult Child of Dysfunction Podcast, Tammy Vincent sits down with Certified Trauma Care Practitioner Stacey Uhrig to explore why behavior always makes sense and why trauma isn't defined by the event—it's defined by the lasting impact it has on your nervous system.In this episode, you'll discover:Why comparing your trauma to someone else's keeps you stuck.How childhood experiences shape your beliefs about yourself.Why your nervous system adapts the way it does.How seemingly "small" moments can have lifelong effects.What healing really looks like.Connect with Stacey Uhrig📸 Instagram: @staceyuhrig📘 Facebook: Stacey Uhrig▶️ YouTube: Flip Your MindsetHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

Why do so many adult children of dysfunctional families struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, overthinking, and feeling like they can never truly relax?In this episode of Tammy's Takes, trauma coach Tammy Vincent explores one of the most powerful lessons from her conversation with Holly Haag: healing begins the day you become your own safe person.Growing up in dysfunction teaches us to survive by reading the room, keeping everyone else happy, and ignoring our own needs. Those survival strategies may have protected us as children, but they often leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected as adults.Tammy explains why your nervous system continues to react long after childhood is over, shares a simple exercise you can begin using today, and offers practical steps to start rebuilding self-trust from the inside out.If you've ever wondered why you struggle with boundaries, anxiety, or constantly feel responsible for everyone else's emotions, this episode will help you understand why—and show you where healing begins.Ready to Begin Your Healing Journey?Check out Tammy's self-paced course:Trials to Triumph: An Adult Child's Beginning Roadmap to Your Healing JourneyFor a limited time, get the course for just $25!👉 https://tammy-vincent.mykajabi.com/offers/DSbcgrZZ/checkoutUse coupon code:THRIVE25 for 90% offWant to work with Tammy personally?Book your complimentary Clarity & Calm Call:https://www.tammyvincent.com

What if your body has been carrying your childhood trauma long after your mind tried to forget it?In this powerful episode, Tammy sits down with Holly Haag, holistic health coach and founder of The Healing Haul, whose life was shaped by severe childhood abuse, generational trauma, and multiple autoimmune diagnoses—including Multiple Sclerosis. Through years of research and personal healing, Holly now helps others understand the connection between trauma, chronic illness, and whole-body healing.Rather than accepting that illness would define her future, Holly began searching for the deeper "why." Her journey led her through therapy, EMDR, nervous system healing, nutrition, detoxification, mindset work, and learning how unresolved trauma can influence physical health.In this conversation, you'll discover:• How childhood trauma can impact long-term physical health• Why genetics may load the gun, but stress can pull the trigger• The connection between nervous system regulation and autoimmune disease• Why becoming your own safe person is one of the most important parts of healing• Practical habits that support both emotional and physical wellnessIf Holly's story resonates with you, you can learn more about her work at The Healing Haul, and connect with her on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram:• Facebook: The Healing Haul on Facebook• TikTok: @thehealinghaul• Instagram: @thehealinghaul2022Whether you're navigating childhood trauma, chronic illness, or simply searching for hope, Holly's message is clear: healing doesn't happen overnight—but with small, consistent steps, it is possible.Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

What if your anxiety, exhaustion, muscle tension, digestive issues, or chronic stress weren't random at all?What if your body has been trying to communicate with you for years—and you simply haven't been taught how to listen?In this Tammy's Take, Tammy Vincent builds on her conversation with trauma integration specialist Hannah Dalby and explores one of the most overlooked parts of healing: the messages your body is constantly sending you.You'll discover why symptoms are often signals, how your nervous system stores unresolved stress, and why curiosity—not self-judgment—is the first step toward healing.Tammy also shares how she uses AO Biofrequency Voice Scans as a tool to help clients identify patterns of stress in the body and begin meaningful conversations about where support may be needed. While the scan is not a medical diagnostic tool, it can provide another lens for exploring how chronic stress may be showing up in the body.In this episode you'll learn:Why your body is always communicating with youThe difference between symptoms and signalsHow chronic stress affects the nervous systemWhy emotional patterns often show up physicallyThree powerful questions to ask when your body is trying to get your attentionHow curiosity creates healing while judgment keeps us stuckHow Tammy incorporates AO Biofrequency Voice Scans into her coaching processIf you've ever wondered why your body keeps reacting the way it does, this episode will help you begin listening with compassion instead of frustration.Grab A complimentary A/O Biofrequency Scan Here: https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demoHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

What if the anxiety, chronic stress, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, and even physical symptoms you've been carrying aren't personality traits at all—but survival patterns your nervous system learned years ago?In this powerful episode, Tammy sits down with Hannah Dalby, founder of The Jungle, trauma integration specialist, former professional athlete, and host of the Into the Jungle Podcast. Together, they explore why healing isn't just about changing your thoughts—it's about reconnecting with your body.Hannah shares her own journey through addiction, eating disorders, burnout, and deep trauma work, explaining how true healing came when she stopped living only in her mind and finally learned to listen to what her body had been trying to tell her all along.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why trauma is stored in the body—not just the mindThe connection between chronic stress and physical illnessHow people-pleasing and perfectionism become survival strategiesWhy awareness alone doesn't create transformationThe importance of nervous system regulation before lasting changeHow identity shifts happen during healingWhy learning to receive love can be one of the hardest parts of recoveryThe surprising connection between unresolved emotions and chronic inflammationIf you've ever felt like you've "done all the mindset work" but still find yourself stuck in the same emotional patterns, this conversation may explain why.Connect with Hannah Dalby🌿 The Junglehttps://thejungle.net.au📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/recoveryjungle/🌱 IntegratedAFhttps://integratedaf.com📸 Hannah Dalbyhttps://www.instagram.com/hannah.dalby/Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

What if healing doesn't begin with talking... but with expressing?In this episode of Tammy's Takes, I build on my conversation with poet and Positive Psychology Coach Michael Teferi and explore one of the most overlooked parts of healing: giving your pain somewhere to go. Whether it's writing, journaling, painting, music, prayer, or simply speaking your truth, expression is often the first step toward releasing what your nervous system has been holding onto.As adult children of dysfunction, many of us learned to stay quiet, suppress our emotions, and survive. But those emotions don't simply disappear—they get stored in our bodies, our relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves. Today, we're talking about why expression is so powerful and one simple exercise you can begin today.In This Episode, You'll Learn:• Why suppressing emotions keeps us stuck• How creative expression helps release stored pain• The connection between the nervous system and emotional healing• Why writing can be one of the most healing things you'll ever do• One simple exercise to begin expressing what's been buried• Why your story deserves to be heard—even if only by youHealing doesn't require you to become someone new.Sometimes it simply requires you to finally give your old pain a voice.Ready to Take the Next Step?If today's episode resonated with you and you're wondering what patterns may still be keeping you stuck, I'd love to help.💙 Book a Complimentary Confidence & Clarity Call:https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-call🎙 Experience a Complimentary AO Voice Scan Demo:https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demo✨ Explore all of my coaching programs, free resources, podcast episodes, and ways we can work together:https://linktr.ee/tvincentBecause healing isn't about fixing who you are...It's about remembering who you were before survival taught you otherwise.

Can writing really help heal emotional wounds?In this episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy sits down with poet and Positive Psychology Coach Michael Teferi to discuss growing up with bullying, finding resilience through poetry, and using creative expression as a pathway toward healing and personal growth.Michael shares how painful childhood experiences shaped his compassion instead of his bitterness, why poetry became an outlet for processing emotions, and how purpose, friendship, faith, and creativity helped him move forward.If you've ever struggled to express what you've been through, this conversation will remind you that healing often begins by giving your story a voice.In this episode, we discuss:• How bullying shaped Michael's life• Why poetry became a healing outlet• Using writing to release emotions• The connection between creativity and trauma recovery• Positive psychology and discovering what lights you up• The importance of friendship, faith, and purpose• Why healing begins when we express what we've been carryingWhether you write, journal, paint, speak, or simply need permission to tell your story, this episode offers encouragement to take the next step toward healing.Connect with Michael📖 Read Michael's poetry on Substack:(Insert Michael's Substack link here)📘 Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/michael.teferi.16📸 Instagram (Personal):https://www.instagram.com/romanticsinger24💙 Instagram (Positive Psychology Coaching):https://www.instagram.com/michaelteferi24Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

Have you ever wondered why your mind won't slow down?Why you replay conversations...Doom scroll...Jump from one task to another...Or constantly worry about what might happen next?What if your attention isn't broken at all?In this week's Tammy's Takes, Tammy Vincent builds on her conversation with Kira Shishkin, CEO of Informed Now, to explore a deeper question:What is your attention trying to protect you from?While Kira introduces the idea of an Attention Audit, Tammy expands on the concept by showing how our attention often follows old survival patterns created in childhood.If you grew up in a dysfunctional home, your nervous system may have learned to constantly scan for danger, criticism, rejection, or conflict. Those patterns don't simply disappear when we become adults—they often continue directing our attention without us even realizing it.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why attention is actually information from your nervous system• How childhood trauma shapes where your focus naturally goes• The connection between hypervigilance and distraction• Why overthinking is often a survival strategy—not a personal weakness• How to recognize the hidden patterns behind your attention• Tammy's original Attention Breadcrumb Exercise to uncover where those patterns began• Practical steps to begin rebuilding self-trust and retraining your nervous systemIf you've ever felt frustrated with your inability to focus, stay present, or quiet your mind, this episode will help you look beyond the symptom and begin understanding the story your attention has been trying to tell.Mentioned in this EpisodeKira Shishkin, CEO of Informed NowLearn more:LinkedIn: https://l.informed.now/kiraTikTok: https://l.informed.now/tiktokFacebook: https://l.informed.now/fbInstagram: https://l.informed.now/instagramWebsite:https://informed.nowReady to uncover your own patterns?Book your complimentary Clarity & Calm Call, where we'll explore your attention patterns, nervous system responses, and the hidden survival strategies that may still be running your life.📅 https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-callOr experience a complimentary AO Biofrequency Scan Demo:📅 https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demoHealing begins with awareness.Self-trust begins with understanding.And your attention may be showing you exactly where to start.Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

Have you ever found yourself thinking..."Why did I react like that?"Maybe someone didn't text you back.Maybe your boss gave you feedback.Maybe your partner used the wrong tone of voice.Logically, you know it shouldn't have affected you that much...Yet emotionally, it felt overwhelming.In this week's Tammy's Takes, we're building on my powerful conversation with David Dean Haskell, author of Wounded Angels and Inner Child Unleashed, who reminded us that our biggest emotional reactions often have very little to do with what's happening today.Today, I'm taking that idea one step further.Because your triggers aren't random.They're not proof that you're too sensitive.And they're certainly not evidence that you're broken.They're messages from a younger part of you that still remembers what it felt like to be rejected, criticized, abandoned, or unseen.In this episode you'll learn:✔ Why emotional triggers often have nothing to do with the present moment✔ The difference between today's event and yesterday's wound✔ How childhood survival patterns shape adult reactions✔ Why curiosity heals faster than self-judgment✔ Three powerful questions to ask whenever you're triggered✔ How to begin calming your nervous system instead of fighting itHealing isn't about never getting triggered again.Healing is learning to understand what your triggers have been trying to teach you all along.Ready to Go Deeper?If you're ready to stop reacting from survival mode and start responding from a place of calm, I'd love to help.💜 Book a Complimentary Clarity & Calm Callhttps://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-callCurious how unresolved stress may still be showing up in your body?💜 Experience a Complimentary AO Biofeedback Scan Demohttps://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demo

Have you ever wondered why something seemingly small can trigger such a huge emotional reaction?Why does being left out, criticized, or rejected sometimes feel far bigger than the moment itself?The answer may not be in your present—it may be in your childhood.In this powerful episode, I sit down with David Deane Haskell, author of Wounded Angels and Inner Child Unleashed, to explore the life-changing power of inner child healing and why unresolved childhood trauma continues to influence our relationships, confidence, emotional reactions, and even addiction later in life.David shares his own remarkable journey through addiction recovery, codependency, spiritual awakening, and emotional healing while offering practical insight into reconnecting with the younger parts of ourselves that still carry pain.Together we discuss:✔ What inner child healing actually is✔ Why emotional triggers are rarely about the present moment✔ How shame attacks differ from anxiety or panic attacks✔ The connection between addiction, codependency, and childhood trauma✔ Why affirmations feel uncomfortable when you first begin healing✔ Learning to love yourself after years of self-hatred✔ Gratitude, spirituality, and emotional recovery✔ Healing relationships with parents—and yourself✔ Why every healing journey begins with curiosity instead of judgmentIf you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, low self-worth, emotional overwhelm, or wondering why you react so strongly to certain situations, this conversation will help you understand yourself with greater compassion—and remind you that healing is possible.Connect with David Dean Haskell🌐 Website:https://daviddeanehaskell.com📚 Wounded Angelshttps://mybook.to/woundedangels📝 Inner Child Journal (Substack)https://innerchildjournal.substack.com📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/daviddeanehaskellHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

Have you ever walked into a room and immediately tried to make yourself smaller?Do you apologize when you've done nothing wrong?Stay quiet even when you have something valuable to say?Feel like everyone else's needs matter more than your own?If so, you may still be living from a survival pattern that began in childhood.In this episode of Tammy's Takes, we're building on my recent conversation with Chris Milson, host of the Mental Health Movement Podcast: Voice for the Voiceless. Chris shared how growing up in dysfunction left him feeling invisible—a feeling that followed him well into adulthood.Today, we're taking that conversation one step further.You'll learn why feeling invisible isn't simply a confidence issue—it's often a nervous system response created by childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or growing up in an unpredictable environment.We'll explore:✔ Why emotional neglect leaves invisible wounds✔ How childhood survival strategies become adult behaviors✔ Why people-pleasing, over-apologizing, and staying silent are nervous system adaptations✔ The difference between being invisible and being overlooked✔ Why affirmations alone often don't create lasting change✔ A simple Visibility Audit you can begin using todayHealing isn't about becoming someone new.It's about reconnecting with the person you were before survival convinced you to disappear.If you've ever wondered why you struggle to speak up, trust yourself, or believe your needs matter, this episode is for you.Ready to Take the Next Step?If you'd like help identifying the survival patterns that may still be running your life, I'd love to meet with you.💜 Complimentary Clarity & Calm Callhttps://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-callCurious how chronic stress and unresolved trauma may be showing up in your body?💜 Complimentary AO Biofeedback Scan Demohttps://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demo

What happens when you spend your entire childhood feeling invisible?For many adult children of dysfunction, the deepest wounds aren't always physical—they're emotional. Feeling unseen. Feeling unheard. Believing you don't matter.In this incredibly honest conversation, I sit down with Chris Milson, host of the Mental Health Movement Podcast: Voice for the Voiceless, to talk about what it's really like to grow up in a broken home, survive multiple suicide attempts, and slowly rebuild a life worth living.Chris opens up about:✔️ Growing up feeling invisible after his parents divorced✔️ Surviving suicide attempts at 14 and again at 27✔️ Living with PTSD and childhood trauma✔️ Why boundaries changed his entire life✔️ Learning to love himself after years of self-hatred✔️ The surprising power of community and sharing your story✔️ Why grief is so much more than losing someone✔️ How one supportive teacher helped save his life✔️ The importance of being gentle with yourselfWe also dive into nervous system healing, emotional regulation, childhood conditioning, and why so many adult children struggle to receive love—even when it's finally safe.If you've ever felt like your voice didn't matter…If you've ever struggled with shame…Or wondered if healing is actually possible…This conversation is proof that it is.Because healing doesn't begin when life becomes perfect.It begins the moment you decide your story isn't over.Connect with Chris Milson🎙 Mental Health Movement Podcast – Voice for the VoicelessSpotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/5tmUdRQ1O7jluUaQuQECMe?si=2smLoSl3QG2cmVgpiLiVWwFacebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18oWUtjjhf/YouTube:https://youtube.com/@mentalhealthmovement-voice1382?si=5RLspG8LwqDHDifmInstagram:@MentalHealthMovementPodConnect with TammyIf you're ready to stop surviving and start healing…💜 Book your complimentary Clarity & Calm Call:https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-call💜 Experience a Complimentary AO Scan Demo:https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demoHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

What if you're not actually healed...What if you've simply become really good at surviving?In this episode of Tammy's Takes, trauma-informed coach Tammy Vincent explores one of the most powerful lessons from her recent conversation with bestselling author Janice Erlbaum.Although Janice's story of leaving home at just fifteen years old is extraordinary, the way her nervous system adapted isn't uncommon at all.Many adult children of dysfunctional families learned to become hypervigilant, people-pleasing, perfectionistic, emotionally disconnected, or constantly "on" simply because those behaviors once helped them survive.The problem?Our bodies often continue living by those same rules long after the danger has passed.In this episode, Tammy walks you through five powerful signs your nervous system may still feel unsafe and explains why healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about teaching your body that it's finally safe to rest.In this episode you'll discover:• Why surviving and healing are not the same thing• Five signs your nervous system may still be living in survival mode• Why you struggle to relax even when life is calm• The surprising reason you read everyone else's emotions but ignore your own• Why so many adult children constantly second-guess themselves• How hypervigilance affects sleep, anxiety, and overall health• Why true healing begins when your body finally believes it's safeIf you've ever wondered why you're successful on the outside but still feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or stuck on the inside, this episode will help you understand what's really happening beneath the surface.Healing isn't about forgetting your past.It's about helping your nervous system realize that your past is finally over.🎧 Inspired ByThis episode was inspired by Tammy's conversation with bestselling author Janice Erlbaum, whose remarkable story of surviving childhood abuse and homelessness reminds us that while our stories may be different, our nervous systems often learn the same survival strategies.Be sure to listen to Tammy's full interview with Janice on the Adult Child of Dysfunction Podcast.❤️ READY TO STOP SURVIVING?If today's episode felt like I was describing your life, maybe that's your sign.You don't have to keep living in survival mode.As a trauma-informed coach, I help adult children of dysfunctional families understand their nervous system, rebuild self-trust, and create lasting emotional healing.I'd love to invite you to schedule a Complimentary Clarity & Calm Call where we'll explore your story, identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and create practical next steps toward healing.👉 Book your complimentary call here:https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-callI would love to support you on your healing journey.

What does it take to survive an abusive childhood—and what does it really take to heal?In this deeply moving episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy Vincent sits down with bestselling memoirist Janice Erlbaum, author of Girlbomb: A Halfway Homeless Memoir, to explore the lasting impact of childhood trauma, domestic violence, homelessness, and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit.At just fifteen years old, Janice made the heartbreaking decision to leave home to escape an abusive environment. What followed were years spent moving between shelters, group homes, addiction, unhealthy relationships, and the constant struggle to survive. Yet through therapy, writing, and an unwavering commitment to healing, she transformed her life and eventually returned to the very shelter where she'd once sought refuge—this time as a volunteer helping other young people.Together, Tammy and Janice explore what healing really looks like after growing up in dysfunction and why telling your story can become one of the most powerful steps toward reclaiming your life.In this episode you'll discover:Why Janice chose to leave home at just fifteen years oldWhat "halfway homeless" really meansThe long-term effects of childhood trauma and domestic violenceHow therapy, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and other healing modalities supported her recoveryWhy writing your story can be both painful and profoundly healingWhat happened when she returned to volunteer at the shelter where she once livedHow her parents responded after reading GirlbombAdvice for adult children of dysfunctional families who want to tell their own storiesIf you've ever questioned your past, wondered whether healing is possible, or dreamed of sharing your own story, this conversation offers hope, honesty, and practical encouragement.Healing doesn't erase your story.It helps you reclaim it.RESOURCES MENTIONEDLearn more about Janice ErlbaumWebsitewww.girlbomb.com(New official website)https://janiceerlbaum.comInstagramhttps://instagram.com/janice.erlbaumGrab Here Book Here: https://www.amazon.com/Girlbomb-Halfway-Homeless-Janice-Erlbaum-ebook/dp/B000FCKPI0/refABOUT JANICEJanice Erlbaum is the bestselling author of Girlbomb: A Halfway Homeless Memoir, Have You Found Her, and several other books.

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your past...It's the story your past taught you to believe?In this episode of Tammy's Takes, trauma-informed coach Tammy Vincent explores one of the most powerful concepts from her recent conversation with therapist Aaron Gilbert: your default story.Many adult children of dysfunctional families unknowingly carry childhood beliefs into adulthood—beliefs like I'm not enough, I have to earn love, I can't trust anyone, or I'm responsible for everyone else's happiness. These stories often shape our relationships, confidence, and emotional well-being without us even realizing it.Tammy introduces her simple STORY Method, a practical five-step framework designed to help you identify the beliefs you've been living by, challenge old survival patterns, and begin creating a new story rooted in truth instead of trauma.In this episode you'll discover:• What a "default story" really is• Why childhood experiences become lifelong beliefs• How survival mode creates unhealthy thought patterns• Tammy's five-step STORY Method for challenging limiting beliefs• Why curiosity is more powerful than self-criticism• How to begin replacing survival stories with self-trust• The small daily choices that create lasting emotional healingIf you've ever felt stuck in the same relationship patterns, battled a harsh inner critic, or wondered why you keep repeating behaviors you logically know aren't serving you, this episode offers hope—and practical steps you can begin using today.Healing isn't about erasing your past.It's about refusing to let your past write the rest of your story.🎧 Inspired ByThis episode was inspired by Tammy's conversation with licensed therapist Aaron Gilbert, where they explored childhood trauma, healing, self-acceptance, and the concept of our "default story."Be sure to listen to the full interview for an even deeper discussion on healing from dysfunctional family dynamics.❤️ READY TO REWRITE YOUR STORY?If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to stop living by beliefs that were formed in survival mode, I'd love to help.As a trauma-informed coach, I help adult children of dysfunctional families rebuild self-trust, regulate their nervous system, and create lasting emotional healing.🎁 Schedule your Complimentary Clarity & Calm Callhttps://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-callTogether we'll explore your unique story and create practical next steps toward the life you truly want.

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your past...It's the story your past taught you to believe?In this powerful episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy Vincent sits down with licensed therapist Aaron Gilbert, founder of Boston Evening Therapy Associates, to explore one of the most important concepts in healing from childhood trauma: your default story.From the moment we're born, our brains begin making sense of the world around us. For children growing up in dysfunctional homes, those early experiences often become deeply ingrained beliefs about who we are, what we deserve, and how relationships work.

Have you ever noticed how quickly you ask everyone else what they think before asking yourself?If you grew up in a dysfunctional home, that isn't because you're indecisive—it's because you learned to survive by paying attention to everyone else's needs before your own.In this week's Tammy's Takes, I expand on one of the biggest takeaways from my conversation with therapist and author Shari Foos: learning to reconnect with your own voice.As children, many of us became experts at reading the room. We learned to recognize moods, anticipate conflict, and make ourselves smaller to stay safe. Over time, we became incredibly skilled at understanding everyone else—but disconnected from ourselves.Healing isn't about learning to make perfect decisions.It's about trusting yourself enough to make a decision, adjusting when you need to, and believing you'll be okay either way.In this episode, I talk about why self-trust is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, how your nervous system influences your decision-making, and one simple practice you can begin using today to start rebuilding confidence in your own inner voice.If you haven't already, I encourage you to listen to my full conversation with Shari Foos on this week's episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction. Her insights on storytelling, authenticity, and healing beautifully complement today's conversation.Healing doesn't happen all at once—it happens one small, intentional step at a time.If today's episode resonated with you, I'd love to connect.

n this heartfelt episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, I sit down with therapist, author, and founder of The Narrative Method, Shari Foos, to explore how writing can become one of the most powerful tools for healing childhood trauma.Many adult children of dysfunctional families learned early in life to stay quiet, suppress their emotions, and become whoever they needed to be just to survive. Over time, many of us lose touch with our authentic voice.Shari believes healing isn't about becoming a better writer—it's about becoming a better listener to yourself.Together we discuss:• Why perfectionism keeps us stuck• The healing power of writing without judgment• How storytelling helps regulate the nervous system• Why being witnessed is often more healing than being "fixed"• The practice of Radical Gratitude• Choosing curiosity over criticism• Learning to trust yourself again after childhood dysfunction• Why healing happens through connection—not isolationOne of my favorite moments is when we reflect on a quote from Miles Davis:"It's not the wrong note you play. It's the note you play after."What a beautiful reminder that while we can't always control what happens to us, we can choose how we move forward.If you've struggled with anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I hope this conversation reminds you that healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about remembering who you were before life taught you to hide.Connect with Shari Foos🌐 https://www.thenarrativemethod.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenarrativemethod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenarrativemethodLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shari-foos-7b083214/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/NarrativeMethodReady to begin your own healing journey?Healing doesn't happen all at once—it happens one small, intentional step at a time.If something in today's conversation resonated with you, I'd love to connect.

Have you ever been completely exhausted... but the moment your head hits the pillow, your mind comes alive?Maybe you replay conversations from the day. Maybe you worry about tomorrow. Maybe you wake up at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning and can't get back to sleep.What if the problem isn't that you can't sleep?What if your nervous system simply doesn't feel safe enough to rest?In this episode of Tammy's Takes, Tammy Vincent shares one of the biggest lessons from her recent conversation with sleep expert Tim Thomas: many sleep struggles aren't just about sleep—they're about a nervous system that's been living in survival mode for years.Drawing from her work as a trauma-informed coach, Tammy explains how childhood experiences, chronic stress, and unresolved emotional patterns can keep the body hypervigilant long after the danger has passed.In this episode you'll discover:• Why being exhausted doesn't always mean you'll sleep well• The surprising reason so many people wake up between 2:00 and 4:00 AM• Five signs your nervous system may be preventing deep, restorative sleep• The connection between trauma, anxiety, hypervigilance, and insomnia• Why your body isn't working against you—it's trying to protect you• Simple ways to begin creating safety in your body before bedtimeIf you've been struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, racing thoughts, or feeling like you're always "on," this episode will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface and why healing starts with your nervous system—not self-criticism.Your body isn't broken.It simply learned how to survive.And it can learn how to rest again.Complimentary Clarity & Calm CallIf this episode resonated with you and you're wondering whether your nervous system is still living in survival mode, I'd love to help.Schedule a complimentary Clarity & Calm Call, where we'll explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and create practical steps toward greater emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and lasting healing.👉 Book your complimentary call here:https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-callHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

What if your thoughts are not always telling you the truth?For many adult children of dysfunction, anxious thoughts do not just feel like thoughts. They feel like warnings. They feel like facts. They feel like instructions we have to follow in order to stay safe.“They are mad at me.”“I am going to mess this up.”“I need to fix this.”“I should stay quiet.”“I am too much.”“I am not enough.”In this Tammy’s Takes episode, Tammy teaches a simple, practical tool you can use in the moment when anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, shame, or old survival patterns start taking over.Inspired by Tammy’s conversation with Dr. Elisabeth Morray, licensed psychologist and VP of Clinical at Alma, this episode explores the concept of psychological flexibility: the ability to experience hard thoughts, emotions, memories, and triggers without allowing them to make every decision for you.Tammy breaks down her Notice, Name, and Next Step Method—a three-step practice designed to help you pause, regulate your nervous system, create space from fearful thoughts, and choose a response that aligns with your values instead of your fear.In this episode, you will learn how to:Recognize when your body is reacting from an old survival patternGet out of your racing mind and back into the present momentUnderstand the difference between remembering danger and being in dangerStop treating every anxious thought as a factCreate distance from thoughts like “I am not good enough” or “They are going to leave me”Identify one small, healthy next step instead of reacting from urgencyUse your values as a compass when you feel confused, triggered, or overwhelmedBuild self-trust one decision at a timePractice choosing yourself without needing to be perfectHealing is not about never feeling anxiety again.It is not about never being triggered.It is about learning how to say:“I am having this thought, but I do not have to obey it.”“I am feeling this feeling, but I do not have to become this feeling.”“I can feel uncomfortable and still choose what is healthy for me.”If you are tired of living from fear, overexplaining, chasing reassurance, people-pleasing, or abandoning yourself to keep everyone else comfortable, this episode is for you.The Practice From This EpisodeWhen you feel triggered, pause and ask:1. Notice: What is happening in my body right now?2. Name: What thought is my mind offering me?3. Next Step: What is one small action that aligns with my values instead of my fear?Write this somewhere you can see it:Notice. Name. Next Step.You do not have to get rid of every thought.You do not have to prove every fear wrong.You just have to stop giving fear the keys to your life.Mentioned in This EpisodeTammy’s conversation with Dr. Elisabeth Morray: You Don’t Have to Fix Your Thoughts to Heal: The Power of Psychological FlexibilityDr. Morray discussed Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, psychological flexibility, values-based living, and how to find a therapist who feels safe, seen, and supportive.Find a therapist through Alma: https://www.helloalma.comWork With TammyIf you are ready to understand your nervous system, stop repeating old patterns, build self-trust, and create a life that feels like yours, Tammy offers trauma-informed coaching and nervous system support.Reach out to Tammy to schedule a free Clarity and Calm Call.Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

What if healing is not about getting rid of painful thoughts, fixing every feeling, or becoming a completely different person?In this powerful episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy Vincent sits down with Dr. Elisabeth Morray, licensed psychologist, acceptance and commitment therapy expert, and VP of Clinical at Alma.Dr. Morray introduces the concept of psychological flexibility—the ability to experience difficult thoughts, emotions, memories, and life circumstances without allowing them to control your choices, identity, or future.For adult children of dysfunction, this conversation is especially important. When you grew up adapting to chaos, people-pleasing, walking on eggshells, or trying to earn safety and love, your survival patterns may still be making decisions for you today.Together, Tammy and Dr. Morray talk about how to:Understand the six core components of psychological flexibilityStop treating every thought as truthCreate distance between “I am a failure” and “I am having the thought that I am a failure”Stay present instead of reacting from childhood survival wiringDiscover your values when you have spent your life being who everyone else needed you to beUnderstand why pain and connection often come togetherStop trying to avoid every hard feelingFind a therapist who makes you feel safe, seen, heard, and acceptedKnow when it is okay to leave a therapist who is not the right fitSet up your environment to support the life you want instead of relying only on motivation and willpowerOne of the biggest takeaways from this episode is simple but powerful:You are not your thoughts. You are the person noticing your thoughts—and you can choose what happens next.Dr. Morray also shares how Alma helps people find therapists and medication prescribers who fit their needs, identities, insurance, and preferred therapy approaches—including ACT, IFS, somatic work, trauma-informed care, and more.If you have ever felt like you have spent years in therapy but still wake up with anxiety, heaviness, or old survival patterns running the show, this episode will remind you that healing is not about never feeling pain again.It is about building the tools to move through pain without abandoning yourself.Connect with Dr. Elisabeth Morray & AlmaLinkedIn: Dr. Elisabeth Morray on LinkedInFind a therapist through AlmaInstagram: @withalmaLinkedIn: Alma on LinkedInBooks Mentioned in This EpisodeGet Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life by Steven C.

What happens when the survival skills that protected you as a child begin holding you back as an adult?In this powerful episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy sits down with author, poet, and memoirist Sarah Hanson to discuss growing up in a dysfunctional family, the hidden impact of emotional abuse, and the lifelong journey of reclaiming your authentic self.Sarah shares her experience of becoming the family peacekeeper, learning to navigate a volatile parent, and eventually realizing that healing required grieving the family she wished she had while accepting the reality of the one she was given. Together, Tammy and Sarah explore generational trauma, people-pleasing, hypervigilance, boundaries, self-compassion, and the courage it takes to stop living for someone else's approval.They also discuss Sarah's new memoir, Conjuring the Hurricane: The Best Way to Save Your Life Is Any Way You Can, a powerful story about leaving behind what harms you and creating a life that finally fits.If you've ever questioned your childhood, struggled with family boundaries, or felt responsible for everyone else's emotions, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible—and that you have permission to save your life.Guest LinksInstagram: @sarahhansonwritesThreads: @sarahhansonwritesSubstack: @sarahhansonwritesWebsite: SarahHansonWrites.comHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

What if anxiety isn't the problem?What if people-pleasing isn't the problem?What if overthinking isn't the problem?What if they're all messengers?In this powerful Tammy's Takes episode, Tammy explores one of the most important lessons from her conversation with voice coach Barbara McAfee: the emotions, needs, and experiences we suppress don't simply disappear—they often find another way to be heard.Growing up in dysfunctional homes teaches many of us that having a voice isn't safe. We learn to stay quiet, avoid conflict, suppress emotions, and prioritize everyone else's needs ahead of our own. But while the mind may forget, the body remembers.In this episode, Tammy explains how unresolved stress, emotional suppression, nervous system dysregulation, and survival patterns often show up through symptoms, triggers, behaviors, and even the voice itself.You'll also learn how voice frequency analysis through the AO Scan can help uncover hidden stress patterns, emotional burdens, and energetic imbalances that may be affecting your health, relationships, and quality of life.If you've ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled with anxiety, chronic stress, people-pleasing, or felt like something was wrong but couldn't quite explain it, this episode is for you.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:• Why many adult children lose their voice• How suppressed emotions affect the body• The connection between trauma and nervous system dysregulation• Why symptoms may be messages rather than problems• How the body communicates through stress patterns• What your voice may reveal about your emotional and physical well-being• How AO Voice Scans can help identify hidden patterns• Practical ways to begin reconnecting with yourselfThe emotions you never expressed, the boundaries you never set, the truth you never spoke, and the needs you never voiced often continue speaking through your body until they're finally heard.If you're curious about what your body may be trying to communicate, I'd love to help.My AO Voice Scan analyzes thousands of frequencies from a short voice recording to help identify stress patterns, emotional burdens, energetic imbalances, and areas that may need support.Book your complimentary scan consultation here:https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demo

What happens when it isn't safe to speak?For many adult children of dysfunction, silence became a survival strategy long before they ever realized it. Whether it was fear, criticism, neglect, abuse, or simply growing up in a home where emotions weren't welcome, many learned to suppress their voice in order to stay safe.In this powerful conversation, Tammy sits down with voice coach, author, speaker, and performer Barbara McAfee to explore the profound connection between our voice, our nervous system, our self-expression, and our healing journey.Barbara shares her own story of growing up as the family secret keeper, how years of unspoken truth manifested physically in her body, and why reclaiming her voice became one of the most transformational experiences of her life.Together, Tammy and Barbara explore:• Why so many adult children struggle to speak up• The connection between trauma and the voice• How suppressed emotions can show up physically• The surprising ways your voice reveals your emotional state• Why singing can be deeply healing for the nervous system• The five voice elements and what they reveal about you• How to reconnect with parts of yourself that have been silenced• Practical ways to begin reclaiming your voice todayPerhaps most importantly, Barbara reminds us that the voice never truly disappears. It waits patiently for us to feel safe enough to come home to ourselves.If you've ever felt unseen, unheard, dismissed, or afraid to speak your truth, this episode is for you.ABOUT BARBARA MCAFEE:Barbara McAfee is a voice coach, singer, author, speaker, and creator of the Full Voice framework.

What if you're not stuck?What if you're grieving?In this powerful follow-up to my conversation with John Kammer of Guardian AIngels, we're diving into a truth that many people never consider: grief doesn't only happen when someone dies.We grieve lost relationships, lost opportunities, lost dreams, lost health, childhoods we never had, and versions of ourselves we thought we'd become.The problem is that many people don't recognize grief when they see it. Instead, they call it anxiety. Burnout. Exhaustion. Overwhelm. Feeling stuck.In this episode, I share five surprising signs that unresolved grief may be affecting your life and explain why so many adult children of dysfunction carry emotional burdens they don't even realize they're carrying.We'll explore:• Why you keep replaying certain stories from your past• How unresolved grief can contribute to emotional exhaustion• The hidden connection between triggers and loss• Why personal growth sometimes feels impossible• How grief can make it difficult to experience joy• The relationship between grief, nervous system dysregulation, and emotional healingMost importantly, you'll learn how to begin identifying what you're carrying so you can start releasing it.If you've ever wondered why you feel stuck despite doing all the "right" things, this episode may provide the missing piece.KEY TAKEAWAYS• Grief is not limited to death• Unprocessed grief often shows up as anxiety, exhaustion, and emotional reactivity• Your triggers may be connected to losses you haven't acknowledged• Feeling stuck isn't always a motivation problem—it may be an emotional burden problem• Healing begins when we stop asking "What's wrong with me?" and start asking "What am I carrying?"WHAT YOU'LL LEARN✔ The five hidden signs of unresolved grief✔ Why grief often disguises itself as anxiety and overwhelm✔ How grief impacts the nervous system✔ Why emotional avoidance keeps people stuck✔ A new framework for understanding your emotional patternsHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

Why do we keep doing things we know aren't good for us?Why do we keep overreacting, people pleasing, overthinking, numbing out, procrastinating, or sabotaging our own success—even when we know better?In this Tammy's Takes episode, Tammy builds on her recent conversation with Kathryn Eipl, founder of EIPL Healing and creator of the Neuro Resonance Method, to explore one of the biggest misconceptions about healing.The problem often isn't a lack of knowledge.The problem is a nervous system that still feels unsafe.Tammy explains why awareness alone isn't always enough to create change and how many of the behaviors we call self-sabotage are actually protection strategies that were learned years ago.She also dives into the mind-body connection, why unresolved stress can continue driving reactions long after the original experience is over, and how biofrequency scanning can help uncover hidden patterns that may be contributing to emotional, mental, and physical stress.If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns despite your best intentions, this episode will give you a completely different way of looking at your healing journey.In This Episode:• Why self-sabotage is often a survival response• The difference between awareness and transformation• Why you can't think your way out of a body that feels unsafe• How emotional patterns become automatic reactions• Questions to ask when you feel triggered• The connection between nervous system regulation and lasting change• How biofrequency scans can provide additional insight into hidden stress patternsReferenced Episode:Kathryn Eipl – You Are Not Your Past: Rewiring Self-Sabotage Through Nervous System HealingReady to learn what your body may be trying to tell you?Book your complimentary biofrequency scan consultation and discover the hidden patterns that may be keeping you stuck.Because your body has been communicating with you all along. The question is: are you listening?Captivate SummaryIn this episode of Tammy's Takes, Tammy Vincent explores why knowing better doesn't always lead to doing better. Drawing from her conversation with Kathryn Eipl, she explains how self-sabotage, emotional triggers, and unhealthy coping patterns are often rooted in nervous system protection rather than lack of willpower.
