    In this powerful episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy Vincent sits down with attorney, licensed mental health clinician, child advocate, and author Paula Yost to explore the complex intersection of trauma, foster care, mental health, and advocacy. Paula shares her unique perspective as both a legal professional and trauma-informed clinician, bringing deep compassion and real-world insight into what children in foster care truly need to heal.Together, Tammy and Paula unpack the realities of childhood trauma, the lasting impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and why many foster children struggle with trust, regulation, and connection. Paula shares the deeply personal story of becoming the adoptive mother of a former foster youth and explains how healing often starts with one stable adult who refuses to give up.This conversation highlights the importance of relationship repair, trauma education, emotional safety, and why behavior is often a trauma response—not a reflection of who a child truly is. Paula also sheds light on the foster care system, mental health advocacy, and how society often misunderstands children who are acting out from pain rather than defiance.Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that healing is possible—and sometimes all it takes is one person who believes in you.🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS• Why foster children need trauma-informed support• The hidden realities of childhood trauma and neglect• Why behavior is often a trauma response, not defiance• The importance of relationship repair and emotional safety• How one stable adult can change a child’s future• Understanding ACE scores and childhood adversity• Why hope and advocacy matter in healing⏱ CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction to Paula Yost01:12 Paula’s legal and mental health background04:00 Mental health, the justice system & missed intervention10:30 Foster care and trauma education13:00 Why foster children act out17:00 The power of one safe adult21:00 What a child advocate really does24:00 Paula’s adoption story31:00 Trauma-informed parenting tips35:00 The heartbreaking realities many foster kids face39:00 Paula’s final message: There is always hope🔗 CONNECT WITH PAULA YOSTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulajyostauthor/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulayostauthorFollow Paula for practical insights, child advocacy education, trauma-informed perspectives, and updates on her work and new book.Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 312: Tammy's Take #19: Awareness Isn’t Healing: Why You Still Feel Stuck

    Why do you keep repeating the same patterns… even when you know exactly where they come from?In this powerful Tammy’s Take, Tammy Vincent breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of healing: awareness.Because awareness is not just understanding your childhood or knowing why you react the way you do. Real healing begins when you can catch the pattern while it’s happening.If you’ve ever thought:“I know better… so why do I still do this?”“Why do I keep people pleasing, overthinking, shutting down, or abandoning myself?”“Why do I still react this way even after all the work I’ve done?”This episode is for you.Tammy explores how childhood dysfunction, trauma, and nervous system survival responses can turn coping strategies into what feels like personality traits. You’ll learn why intellectual awareness alone is not enough and how to begin interrupting old emotional patterns in real time.In this episode, Tammy shares 5 practical ways to build real-time awareness, including:✔️ How to notice what your body is trying to tell you✔️ Why your triggers hold important clues✔️ How to pause before automatic reactions take over✔️ Why self-judgment keeps you stuck in survival mode✔️ Small ways to interrupt patterns and create real changeIf you grew up walking on eggshells, people pleasing, fearing conflict, overthinking, or struggling to feel emotionally safe, this conversation will help you understand why your nervous system reacts the way it does and what healing can actually look like.Because awareness isn’t the finish line.It’s the beginning of healing.🎧 Listen now and start learning how to respond instead of react.✨ Ready for support in your healing journey?Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    Ep 311: The Truth About Trauma: Healing, Patterns, and Your Story | Scott Stolarick

    In this episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy Vincent sits down with trauma-informed therapist Scott Stolarick to explore the true complexity of trauma—and how it impacts both victims and those who cause harm.With over 30 years of clinical experience, Scott brings a rare and powerful perspective, having worked on both sides of trauma in the correctional system and private practice. Together, Tammy and Scott unpack how trauma is not defined by the event itself, but by how it is experienced and processed—and how unresolved trauma can quietly shape behaviors, relationships, and patterns throughout life.Scott shares a powerful analogy of trauma as a small crack in a windshield that spreads over time if left untreated, illustrating how trauma can expand into multiple areas of life if not addressed.This conversation also dives into the role of shame, denial, and support systems in healing, and why being seen, heard, and validated is often the first step toward recovery. Most importantly, Scott emphasizes that trauma does not define you—it is only one piece of your story.🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS• Trauma is defined by your experience—not the event itself• Unresolved trauma expands and impacts multiple areas of life• Healing requires safe spaces, validation, and willingness• Shame and denial are major barriers to recovery• Your past influences your present—but does not define your future• True healing comes from integrating, not avoiding, your experiences• You are more than what happened to you⏱ CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction to Scott Stolarick01:15 How Scott got into trauma work03:30 Understanding trauma from both sides11:15 What trauma actually is15:50 The “windshield crack” analogy19:00 How trauma spreads if untreated22:00 Shame, disclosure, and healing25:00 Trauma, patterns, and perception31:10 Final message: Your life is a mosaic🔗 CONNECT WITH SCOTT STOLARICKWebsite: http://www.mosaicpathwaycounseling.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-stolarick-lcpc-cctp-298734252/Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 308: Tammys Takes #17: Should I Stay or Go? When The Relationship Feels OFF

    In this Tammy’s Takes follow-up to her conversation with relationship coach Karen Spetz, Tammy Vincent dives deeper into one of the most confusing emotional spaces in relationships — feeling “not unhappy… but not happy either.”This episode explores why so many women find themselves stuck in relationships that feel calm but disconnected, and how nervous system patterns from childhood can keep us choosing safety over true alignment. Tammy breaks down the difference between the absence of conflict and the presence of connection, and why simply “not fighting” doesn’t always mean a relationship is healthy or fulfilling.Building on Karen Spetz’s powerful question — “If your relationship improved, would you actually want to stay?” — Tammy guides listeners through a deeper level of self-reflection to uncover what’s really missing and what their body is trying to tell them.Listeners will walk away with a practical 3-step clarity process to help them move out of confusion and into grounded awareness, including how to identify unmet needs, tune into their nervous system, and have honest conversations before making big decisions.This episode is not about telling you whether to stay or leave — it’s about helping you reconnect with yourself so you can make the decision that’s truly aligned for you.🔑 Key Takeaways • Why “not fighting” doesn’t equal connection• How nervous system patterns influence relationship decisions• The hidden cost of staying in emotional neutrality• A powerful question to uncover your true desire• A 3-step process to move from confusion to clarity• Why clarity comes from awareness, not pressureHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 307: Stay or Leave? The Truth About Relationships No One Talks About: Guest Karyn Spetz

    In this episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy Vincent sits down with relationship coach Karen Spetz to explore one of the most emotionally complex questions many women face: “Should I stay or should I go?”Karen specializes in helping women navigate this crossroads, especially during seasons of personal growth, identity shifts, and midlife transitions. Together, Tammy and Karen unpack why this question is coming up more than ever, and how evolving self-awareness, changing societal norms, and emotional needs can create a disconnect in long-term relationships.They discuss the difference between simply coexisting and experiencing true connection, the impact of childhood patterns and communication styles, and why the absence of conflict does not equal a healthy relationship. Karen emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all answer — only a deeper process of self-exploration, clarity, and honest communication.Listeners will walk away with powerful reflection questions, including how to identify what’s missing in a relationship and how to determine whether those needs can be met within it. This conversation also highlights the importance of raising your standards, reconnecting with yourself, and making decisions from a grounded place rather than fear, guilt, or urgency.Ultimately, this episode is about empowerment — trusting yourself to make aligned decisions, whether that means staying, leaving, or redefining what your relationship looks like moving forward.🔑 Key Takeaways• Why more women are questioning their relationships during midlife transitions• The difference between “not fighting” and true emotional connection• How personal growth can create relationship misalignment• The role of communication in every relationship challenge• A powerful question: If your relationship improved, would you want to stay?• Why decisions should come from clarity, not fear or guilt• The importance of raising your standards in relationships🔗 Connect with Karen SpetzWebsite: https://abetterrelationshipcoaching.comPodcast: https://www.abetterrelationshipcoaching.com/podcastHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E291: Forgiveness as Radical Self-Liberation Guest Paul Drugan

    In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we sit down with Chicago-based memoirist and men’s mental health advocate Paul Drugan, author of Forgiving Dr. Jekyll: From Hyde to Healing. Through raw storytelling and thoughtful insight, Paul explores childhood trauma, addiction, recovery, and the transformative power of forgiveness.Raised in a silent, controlled Irish Catholic family rooted in stoicism, Paul endured physical and emotional abuse from his father — a respected physician and community leader — as he struggled with his developing sexual identity. The shame, silence, and anger followed him into adulthood, shaping years of addiction, lost love, and internal conflict.But Paul’s story is not one of victimhood. It’s one of reclamation.In this conversation, we unpack what forgiveness really means — especially in the context of men’s mental health. Paul challenges the common belief that forgiveness equals excusing harm or letting someone “off the hook.” Instead, he reframes forgiveness as an act of radical self-liberation — taking the hook out of yourself so the past no longer dictates your identity or future.We explore:• What forgiveness truly means for men navigating trauma and silence• How forgiveness can coexist with accountability• Why forgiveness may be the ultimate act of self-lovePaul reminds us that healing isn’t a single breakthrough moment — it’s a daily practice of awareness, acceptance, and action. And no matter how deep the wound or how early the damage, your dignity and worth were never destroyed. They are still there, waiting to be reclaimed.This episode is for anyone who has carried shame in silence, struggled with identity, or wondered whether true freedom from the past is possible.🔗 Connect with Paul Drugan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paul.druganLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-drugan-aa419910/Website: https://www.pauldrugan.comHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

And the powerful part is… those stories are not fixed.Dr. Karen shares how her work blends science and spirituality, bringing together concepts like human design, epigenetics, and narrative coaching to help people understand themselves on a deeper level and begin rewriting the story they’ve been living.We talk about how your past experiences shape your identity, how those patterns can show up emotionally and physically, and what it really looks like to start shifting out of survival mode and into a more authentic, empowered way of living.If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in the same patterns or wondering why healing hasn’t fully clicked yet, this conversation will give you a new way to look at it.Your story isn’t set in stone… and you have more power than you think to change it.✨ Connect with Dr. Karen Parker:Website: https://quantumhumandesign.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkarenparker22/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drkarenparkerFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrKarenParker22/Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E288: Tammy's Takes #7: You Don’t Have a Boundary Problem… You Have a Safety Problem

    In this Tammy’s Take, we build on my conversation with Angie Hawkins and break down one of the biggest misconceptions around boundaries: it’s not that you don’t know how to set them, it’s that your body doesn’t feel safe enough to hold them.If you’ve ever found yourself saying yes when you meant no, over-explaining, or giving in after trying to set a boundary, this episode will help you understand why. What looks like a boundary issue is often a nervous system response rooted in early patterns of survival.In this episode, I walk you through how to pause, check in with your body, and begin responding from a place of safety instead of survival, so you can start holding boundaries without guilt or fear.If this resonates and you’re ready to understand your patterns on a deeper level, I invite you to book a confidence and clarity call with me. We’ll start uncovering what’s really going on beneath the surface so you can move forward with more ease, confidence, and self-trust.Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 287: Learning to Choose Yourself: Boundaries, Self-Worth, and Inner Healing w/Guest Angie Hawkins

    In this deeply empowering episode, we sit down with Angie Hawkins, known as The Inner Glow Coach, to explore what it truly takes for women to move from chasing external validation to embodying self-acceptance, confidence, and inner peace.Angie works with high-achieving women who have “done the work” — therapy, personal development, self-help — yet still feel stuck, unfulfilled, or disconnected from their worth. Through both professional insight and personal vulnerability, Angie shares how lasting transformation requires deep inner work and identity-level change, not just surface-level coping strategies.Drawing from her own journey of resilience and healing, Angie discusses the lessons captured in her memoir, Running in Slippers, which chronicles her rise after emotional turmoil and profound self-abandonment. Together, we unpack how early life experiences shape self-worth, why so many women struggle with boundaries, and how overachieving can be a trauma response rather than a strength.This conversation highlights the importance of nervous system awareness, self-compassion, and learning to release self-critical thought patterns. Angie offers a compassionate yet practical framework for reclaiming personal power — reminding listeners that fulfillment doesn’t come from approval, perfection, or productivity, but from learning to radiate love and confidence from within.This episode is a powerful invitation for anyone ready to stop proving their worth and start living from it.🔗 Connect with Angie HawkinsWebsite & Memoir:👉 https://www.runninginslippers.com

    In this Tammy’s Takes episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy Vincent unpacks a powerful insight from her conversation with Kelly Kinney:👉 You don’t need to find yourself—you need to remember yourself.This episode dives deep into how trauma, conditioning, and life experiences can disconnect us from who we truly are. Tammy explains that many people feel “lost,” not because they’ve lost themselves, but because they’ve become disconnected from their authentic identity.Through Kelly’s story, we explore how self-trust is built—not through one big breakthrough—but through small, aligned choices over time. From healing childhood wounds to navigating cycles of growth, relapse, and rediscovery, this conversation highlights the non-linear nature of healing and personal transformation.Tammy emphasizes that clarity doesn’t come first—connection does. And that connection begins by returning to the body, slowing down, and asking one simple but powerful question:👉 “What feels good for me right now?”Listeners will walk away with practical, grounded steps to reconnect with themselves, including nervous system regulation, body awareness, and using nature as a tool for healing.Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that healing is not about becoming someone new—it’s about coming home to who you’ve always been beneath the layers of trauma and expectation.Come explore my seminar "Awakening Your Authentic Self" You can find it at my website at www.tammyvincent.comHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    In this Tammy’s Takes episode of the Adult Child of Dysfunction podcast, Tammy Vincent explores why emotional triggers can feel so powerful and where those reactions really come from. Building on her recent conversation with Josie Gibson, Tammy explains how the nervous system stores past experiences and trauma patterns, which can influence our emotional reactions in the present.Many people believe they are simply overreacting, but in reality their body may be responding to learned survival patterns from childhood or past experiences. Tammy discusses how recognizing these trauma triggers and nervous system responses can help people better understand their emotional reactions, relationship dynamics, and stress responses.By becoming aware of the patterns your body has learned, you can begin to approach triggers with curiosity instead of judgment and move toward greater emotional regulation, self-awareness, and healing from childhood trauma.If you’re curious about what emotional or energetic patterns your body may still be holding onto, Tammy offers a complimentary Inner Voice Energy Scan to help uncover hidden patterns and bring greater clarity.👉 Book your free scan here:https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demoAnd if this episode resonated with you, please follow the podcast and share it with someone who might benefit from hearing it.

    In this episode of the Adult Child of Dysfunction podcast, Tammy Vincent sits down with Josie Gibson to explore the ideas behind Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health and how understanding the mind can help people navigate trauma, emotional triggers, and personal growth.Josie shares how discovering Dianetics as a teenager helped her make sense of intrusive thoughts, emotional reactions, and the patterns that often develop from past experiences. Central to the conversation is the concept of the reactive mind—the part of the subconscious that stores painful memories and emotional responses that can influence our behavior without us even realizing it.Throughout the conversation, Tammy and Josie discuss how unresolved experiences and past trauma can shape the way people respond to situations in the present, and why bringing awareness to these patterns can be a powerful step toward emotional healing and mental clarity.Listeners will gain insight into how understanding the subconscious mind may help individuals recognize triggers, process past experiences, and develop healthier emotional responses.If you’re curious about the concepts discussed in this episode, you can explore more here:Learn more about Dianetics:https://www.dianetics.orgWhere to find the book:Amazon – https://www.amazon.comBarnes & Noble – https://www.barnesandnoble.comThis episode invites listeners to reflect on how past experiences shape our reactions—and how greater awareness of the mind can open the door to personal growth and healing.Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 280: Tammy’s Takes #3: 5 Ways Childhood Dysfunction Shows Up in Adult Relationships

    In this Tammy’s Takes episode of the Adult Child of Dysfunction podcast, Tammy Vincent reflects on her recent conversation with marriage coach Dr. Lee Balcom and expands on an important topic: how childhood dysfunction often shows up in our adult relationships.Many people assume relationship struggles start within the relationship itself, but the truth is that our early environments shape the way we communicate, handle conflict, trust others, and connect emotionally.In this episode, Tammy shares five common ways growing up in dysfunction can affect adult relationships, including conflict avoidance, hyper-independence, emotional shutdown, over-giving, and fear of abandonment. She explains how these patterns often begin as survival strategies in childhood but can create distance and misunderstanding in adult partnerships.With warmth and insight, Tammy encourages listeners to approach these patterns with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment, reminding us that awareness is the first step toward creating healthier and more connected relationships.If you’ve ever wondered why certain relationship patterns keep repeating, this episode offers perspective, understanding, and hope for change.Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 279: Why Marriages Drift Apart — and How to Reconnect w/ Guest Dr. Lee Baucom

    In this insightful episode, Dr. Lee Baucom — renowned marriage coach, speaker, and author — joins the conversation to unpack one of the most common yet overlooked challenges in marriage: disconnection.Dr. Baucom explains how many couples enter marriage with deep love and good intentions, only to unintentionally place their relationship on pause as careers, parenting, stress, and daily responsibilities take center stage. Over time, this lack of intentional connection can quietly erode the bond between partners, leading to frustration, conflict, and emotional distance.Throughout the episode, Dr. Baucom emphasizes that love alone is not enough to sustain a healthy marriage. Thriving relationships require ongoing effort, mutual responsibility, and a shared commitment to connection. He introduces the importance of adopting a “we” mindset — viewing marriage as a team rather than adversaries — and outlines the three essential levels of connection every marriage needs: physical, emotional, and spiritual.Listeners will gain practical insights into recognizing early signs of disconnection, improving communication by focusing on emotional understanding rather than surface-level conversations, and taking proactive steps to rebuild intimacy and trust. This episode offers both clarity and hope for couples who want to move from survival mode to a more connected, fulfilling partnership.🔗 Connect with Dr. Lee Baucom & Explore His ResourcesWebsite & Podcast:👉 https://www.savethemarriage.com/podcastRelationship Programs & Resources:👉 https://www.savethemarriage.comUnPause Your Marriage:👉 http://UnPauseYourMarriage.comHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E278: Tammy's Take #2: Why Resilience Feels Hard After Trauma — And How to Rebuild It

    In this Tammy’s Take follow-up episode, Tammy Vincent expands on the powerful conversation from Episode 277 with resilience coach Tom Lenoble about what he calls “terrible gifts.”Tom shared the idea that some of life’s hardest experiences can eventually lead to unexpected growth. While that perspective can be incredibly empowering, Tammy dives deeper into an important truth many people who grew up in dysfunction understand: resilience doesn’t always feel like strength. Sometimes it simply feels like survival.In this teaching episode, Tammy explains how resilience is not just a personality trait — it is deeply connected to the nervous system. For those who grew up navigating chaos, unpredictability, or emotional instability, resilience was often overused early in life. The nervous system may still be wired for survival, which can make healing and growth feel exhausting.Tammy explores how true resilience begins with regulation, not pressure. When the nervous system learns that it is finally safe, the brain becomes capable of creativity, problem solving, and forward movement again.You’ll also hear Tammy’s perspective on reframing difficult life experiences. While trauma itself does not need to be celebrated, it can become the foundation for empathy, emotional intelligence, and purpose when we choose how to move forward.In this episode you’ll learn:• Why resilience is biological, not just psychological• How childhood dysfunction wires the nervous system for survival• Why regulation must come before growth• How to identify the strengths your hardest experiences created• A simple reflection exercise to help you begin rebuilding resilienceIf this episode resonates with you, Tammy also offers a complimentary Inner Voice Frequency Scan to help identify emotional, physical, and energetic patterns your body may still be holding.Because healing doesn’t happen alone.Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 277: How to Build Resilience When Life Falls Apart, Guest Tom LeNoble

    In this powerful episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy Vincent sits down with executive leader, resilience coach, and international speaker Tom LeNoble to explore the transformative power of resilience and how life’s most difficult experiences can shape us into stronger, more compassionate human beings.Tom shares insights from his remarkable journey through business leadership, life-threatening illness, and personal adversity. His perspective reframes hardship as what he calls “terrible gifts” — moments that may feel devastating in the moment but ultimately offer profound opportunities for growth, purpose, and self-discovery.Throughout the conversation, Tom explains why resilience is not simply about bouncing back from challenges, but about learning, adapting, and evolving because of them. He describes resilience as a muscle that grows stronger the more it is exercised, encouraging listeners to shift their perspective from victimhood to empowerment.In this episode, we discuss:• How adversity can become a catalyst for personal growth• Why resilience is a skill anyone can develop• The concept of “terrible gifts” and how painful experiences can shape our purpose• The role mindset plays in overcoming life’s most difficult moments• Gratitude and philanthropy as powerful tools for healing and connection• How even small acts of kindness can create meaningful impact in the worldTom’s story reminds us that our struggles do not define us — but how we choose to respond to them can transform our lives and the lives of those around us.This episode is an inspiring reminder that resilience is not reserved for the extraordinary. It is a skill that can be cultivated by anyone willing to face life’s challenges with courage, gratitude, and perspective.To learn more about Tom Lenoble and his work, visit:www.tomlenoble.comConnect with Tom on LinkedIn:www.linkedin.com/in/tomlenobleHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

Many trauma survivors hear the word “forgive” and assume it means excusing abuse, forgetting what happened, or allowing harmful people back into their lives.But true forgiveness is something entirely different.In this teaching episode, Tammy explains how forgiveness is actually a nervous system process. It is not about condoning the past — it is about releasing the emotional and energetic cord that keeps the body stuck in fight, flight, or freeze.Drawing from her work as a trauma-informed ACOA coach, Tammy walks listeners through how to recognize when trauma is still stored in the body and how to begin the process of releasing it.In this episode, you’ll learn:• What forgiveness really means for trauma survivors• How to know if your nervous system has truly processed past trauma• Why anger and resentment keep the body stuck in survival mode• The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation• Practical first steps to begin moving toward real emotional freedom• How nervous system regulation plays a role in healing traumaTammy also shares simple ways to begin noticing your body’s responses to past experiences and how tools like breath work, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation can support deeper healing.If you’ve ever struggled with the idea of forgiveness after trauma, this episode will help you reframe the concept and understand how healing can happen without minimizing what you’ve been through.Forgiveness is not about the other person.It is about reclaiming your power, your peace, and your nervous system.

    E 275: Rewiring Your Nervous System for Peace: Guest - Carly Alyssa Thorne

    In this deeply powerful episode, I sit down with Carly Alyssa Thorne, trauma-informed coach, advocate, and transformational guide, to talk about what it truly means to heal from survival mode and reclaim your life after trauma.Carly shares her lived experience navigating adversity, chronic stress, and the long-term impact of unresolved trauma — and how those experiences shaped her mission to help others regulate their nervous systems, rebuild emotional resilience, and rediscover their voice.We explore how trauma doesn’t just live in our memories — it lives in our bodies. It shows up as anxiety, burnout, chronic overwhelm, physical tension, and patterns of self-protection that once kept us safe but now keep us stuck. Carly explains why real healing isn’t about “pushing through” or pretending everything is fine — it’s about creating safety within yourself first.Together, we unpack:• How trauma affects the nervous system• Why adult children of dysfunction often live in chronic survival mode• The connection between emotional wounds and physical symptoms• The power of boundaries and self-advocacy• Practical tools for nervous system regulation• Reclaiming identity, strength, and self-worthCarly’s message is both compassionate and empowering: you are not broken. Your system adapted to survive. And now you get to gently retrain it to thrive.If you’ve ever felt trapped in fight-or-flight, disconnected from your body, or unsure how to move forward after adversity, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, validated, and hopeful.Healing is possible. Safety is possible. And you are worthy of both.🔗 Connect with Carly Alyssa Thorne:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carlyalyssathorneWebsite: www.Carlyathorne.comLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/carlyalyssathorneHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 274: The Hidden Link Between Emotional Trauma and Chronic Pain: Guest - Eileen Kopsaftis

    In this powerful and hope-filled episode, we sit down with Eileen Kopsaftis, founder of Lifelong Well-Being and co-founder of Cameo Ministries, to explore the deep connection between chronic pain and unresolved emotional trauma.For more than 26 years, Eileen has dedicated her life to supporting women who have endured various forms of abuse. As a chronic pain specialist and nutrition educator, she brings both professional expertise and lived compassion to the conversation — illuminating how emotional wounds often manifest as physical symptoms in the body.We dive into the mind-body connection, unpacking how trauma can be stored in the nervous system and expressed through chronic pain, inflammation, fatigue, and tension. Eileen explains why addressing symptoms alone is rarely enough, and why true healing requires a holistic approach — one that includes emotional processing, supportive community, gentle movement, breathwork, and self-compassion.This conversation is especially meaningful for those who have struggled with chronic illness, pain that “doesn’t make sense,” or lingering physical symptoms tied to stress and past experiences. Eileen reminds us that healing is possible. No matter what you’ve endured, your body is not your enemy — it is communicating.Together, we discuss:• The connection between emotional trauma and chronic pain• Why community support is essential for survivors• How stress and stored trauma impact the nervous system• Gentle movement and breath as tools for regulation• Reclaiming joy, resilience, and peace after abuseIf you’ve ever wondered whether your physical pain could be connected to your emotional history, this episode offers both insight and encouragement.Healing is not about pushing harder — it’s about listening deeper.🔗 Connect with Eileen Kopsaftis:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EileenKopsaftisOfficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EileenKopsaftisHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 273: If You Don’t Believe You Matter, Nothing Else Sticks

    In this follow-up teaching episode inspired by my conversation with Sue Bowles, we go deeper into one life-altering question:Do you believe that you matter?Not intellectually.Not because someone else says you do.But in your body. In your nervous system. In the quiet spaces where your real beliefs live.For so many adult children of dysfunction, the core wound isn’t just what happened to us — it’s what we came to believe about ourselves because of it. Survival mode can quietly shape our identity, leaving us stuck in patterns of self-doubt, hyper-independence, people-pleasing, anxiety, or burnout without fully understanding why.In this episode, I unpack:• How childhood dysfunction shapes your belief about your worth• Why your body reveals what you truly believe• The difference between owning your story and becoming your story• Why community is essential for healing• How curiosity replaces self-criticism in recovery• Practical steps to begin rewiring the belief that you don’t matterThis is not surface-level motivation. This is foundational healing work.If you’ve ever felt invisible… not enough… too much… or unworthy of rest, love, or support — this episode is for you.You are not broken.Your nervous system adapted to survive.And now you get to gently teach it something new.Because the truth is this:You matter.Right now.Exactly as you are.—💛 Ready for Your Next Step?If this episode stirred something in you… if you realized you’ve been living like you don’t matter as much as everyone else… I want to invite you to take one brave next step.You don’t have to figure this out alone.If you’re ready to explore what healing could look like for you — in a safe, grounded, supportive space — book a Clarity & Calm Call with me.

    E 271: Why Hustle Culture Breaks Connection , Guest Anthony Spark

    In this episode, I sit down with Anthony Spark, a personal and business coach who brings powerful insight into the often-overlooked gap between external success and internal alignment. Together, we explore what happens when life looks successful on paper—career growth, leadership roles, financial wins—but feels disconnected, strained, or empty behind the scenes.Anthony shares his own journey of navigating success while quietly losing connection with himself and the people who mattered most. He speaks candidly about how hustle culture, unexamined values, and unresolved patterns can pull us out of alignment, even as achievements continue to stack up. True fulfillment, he explains, doesn’t come from accolades or income alone, but from living with integrity, honoring personal values, and cultivating authentic relationships.Throughout the conversation, Anthony emphasizes that rebuilding your life doesn’t require burning everything down or starting over completely. Instead, it begins with honest reflection, clarity around values, and the willingness to create consistent, value-driven habits. We also discuss the importance of boundaries, prioritizing family and well-being, and resisting the pressure to sacrifice everything in the name of success.This episode highlights the role of mentorship, community, and accountability in both personal and professional growth, reminding listeners that sustainable success is rooted in alignment—not burnout. Anthony’s message is clear and hopeful: no matter where you are, you can always choose to realign, rebuild, and move forward with authenticity and integrity.Connect with Anthony Spark🌐 Website: https://sparkachangecoaching.com📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SparkAChangeCoaching📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sparkachangecoaching/🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@_sparkachangecoaching💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonykspark/🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/_sparkachange📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585084903103Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 270: Maybe You Brought the Ick Into The Relationship

    As a follow-up to the recent episode with Bryan Power, this conversation looks at a familiar experience many people encounter in long-term relationships—often referred to as “the ick.” That subtle but persistent feeling of irritation, resentment, emotional distance, or shutdown can be unsettling and easy to misinterpret.Rather than suggesting these feelings mean something is wrong with your partner or your relationship, this episode offers a different lens: the ick as a response from a dysregulated nervous system. When stress, emotional load, and unresolved experiences accumulate, the body can shift into protection mode, altering how we perceive connection, closeness, and safety within our relationships.Building on themes discussed in the episode with Bryan, this conversation focuses on how nervous system dysregulation can distort interpretation and amplify reactivity. What feels like loss of attraction or emotional disconnection is often the nervous system signaling overload—not a lack of love or compatibility. When the body is dysregulated, clarity is limited, and familiar behaviors can suddenly feel irritating or overwhelming.This episode invites listeners to pause before assigning meaning to these reactions and instead notice what’s happening internally. By viewing the ick through a nervous system lens rather than as a relationship verdict, it becomes possible to move out of blame and into awareness, creating space for regulation, compassion, and more grounded connection.If this perspective resonates and you want support understanding how your nervous system may be influencing your relationships, you’re invited to book a Clarity to Calm call here:👉 https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-callHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 269: Attachment Theory and Relationship Breakdown: A Path to Healing: Guest: Bryan Power

    In this episode, Bryan Power shares his personal experience of a major breakdown in his marriage and the journey that followed. What appeared to be a stable relationship in 2024 quickly unraveled, leading to a period of separation that required deep self-reflection and personal accountability. Rather than focusing solely on fixing the relationship, Bryan explains how this time became an opportunity to examine his own emotional patterns, reactions, and behaviors.Bryan discusses how learning about attachment theory helped him understand the subconscious wounds and nervous system responses that were influencing his relationship. He explains how attachment styles develop early in life and can shape communication, emotional safety, and responses to conflict in adult partnerships. Gaining awareness of these patterns allowed him to better understand both his own behaviors and his wife’s emotional responses.The episode explores the importance of emotional regulation in healthy relationships. Bryan shares how learning to regulate his emotional reactions reduced reactivity and made communication more effective. He also emphasizes the role of boundaries, explaining that boundaries are not meant to control a partner, but to support emotional safety, clarity, and mutual respect.Bryan introduces Integrated Attachment Theory as a framework that supported growth and repair during a very difficult period. He outlines key principles such as taking responsibility for one’s own emotions, communicating needs clearly, and engaging in repair after conflict. The conversation highlights that conflict itself is not the problem in relationships; rather, the ability to repair and reconnect after moments of disconnection is what determines long-term relational health.Throughout the discussion, Bryan reflects on how separation, while painful, created the space necessary for meaningful change. Time apart allowed both partners to work on their individual emotional patterns, reduce defensiveness, and build a stronger foundation for reconnection. He emphasizes that relationship breakdowns, though deeply challenging, can become opportunities for growth, awareness, and transformation.This episode offers insight into how understanding attachment patterns and emotional regulation can change the way individuals experience relationships. Bryan’s story provides a thoughtful perspective for listeners navigating relationship challenges and illustrates that healing and growth are possible even after significant relational strain.To learn more about Bryan Power and his work, visit https://www.myrelationshipfail.com.You can also find him on:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryanwpower/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@myrelationshipfailInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/myrelationshipfail/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/myrelationshipfailHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 268: The Day My Son Said He "DIdn't LIke This Mommy"

    In this solo follow-up episode, Tammy speaks directly to parents who are doing the healing work—but still feel overwhelmed by guilt, regret, and fear that they started too late.With honesty and compassion, Tammy shares what it was like to begin her healing journey after her children were older, the unbearable guilt that surfaced with awareness, and the moment her eight-year-old son told her he didn’t like who she was when she was drinking—a turning point that changed everything.This episode is both deeply personal and practical. Tammy explains why knowing better doesn’t automatically mean doing better, how the nervous system drives reactions before logic can step in, and why children often trigger our deepest, unhealed wounds. She also offers five simple, grounding practices listeners can begin using immediately to build regulation, repair after mistakes, and move forward with greater presence and connection.If you’re a parent navigating healing in real time—especially if you grew up in dysfunction—this episode is a reminder that you can’t go back and change the past, but you can show up differently now.

    E 267: Breaking Generational Patterns of Guilt and Anger in Motherhood Guest: Misun Oh

    In this heartfelt episode , Tammy sits down with Misun, a spiritual life coach who supports mothers navigating the complex emotional terrain of parenting after deep personal growth. This conversation is especially resonant for women who have done the inner work, yet still find themselves caught in cycles of guilt, anger, emotional overwhelm, and self-judgment.Misun shares her powerful personal journey of growing up in a dysfunctional family and how those early experiences shaped her identity, relationships, and approach to motherhood. Through vulnerability and insight, she explains how unresolved childhood patterns can resurface in parenting — not because mothers are failing, but because identity-level wounds are asking to be seen and healed.Central to the discussion is Misun’s Soul Print approach, which focuses on healing at the identity level rather than simply changing behaviors.

    E 266: Five Signs Your Anxiety Stems From An Old Belief

    Today Tammy builds on the last episode, the powerful conversation with Peak Performance Hypnotist Tim Shurr. to explore a critical reframe many people have never been offered:What if anxiety isn’t a stress problem — but a belief your nervous system learned long ago?Drawing from Tim’s insights and her own trauma-informed coaching work, Tammy walks listeners through five clear signs that anxiety may be rooted in subconscious beliefs rather than current circumstances. She explains why affirmations and mindset work often fall flat, how the body responds to meaning instead of logic, and why adult children of dysfunction frequently remain stuck in survival mode even when life appears “fine.”Listeners will learn how core beliefs like “I’m not safe,” “I’m not good enough,” or “I’ll be rejected” quietly shape nervous system responses, influence self-sabotage and perfectionism, and keep the body in chronic alert. Tammy offers compassionate explanations for behaviors like freezing, procrastination, hypervigilance, and emotional shutdown — reframing them as protective responses rather than personal failures.This episode is especially supportive for those who:Experience anxiety without an obvious causeFeel their body reacts faster than their thoughtsStruggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubtHave tried therapy or personal growth work but still feel stuckGrew up in chaotic, emotionally unsafe, or dysfunctional environmentsTammy also shares how tools like biofrequency voice scans can help illuminate what the nervous system is holding, and invites listeners into a free Clarity & Calm Call — a gentle, non-sales conversation designed to help them feel heard, grounded, and clear about their next right step.This episode is not about fixing yourself — it’s about understanding your body with compassion and recognizing that your anxiety has a story worth listening to.You can grab a free voice scan here: https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demoHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!

    E 265: One Belief Away from Change: Guest Tim Shurr

    Today we sit down with Tim Shurr, a renowned Peak Performance Hypnotist with over 37 years of experience helping people break free from subconscious limitations and step into what he calls “Peaceful Success.”Tim shares how many of the struggles we face—chronic stress, anxiety, self-sabotage, health issues, and emotional overwhelm—are not simply mindset problems, but the result of deeply rooted subconscious beliefs, often formed in childhood. These beliefs quietly shape our behaviors, self-talk, relationships, and even how our bodies respond to stress and trauma.Throughout the conversation, Tim explains his One Belief Away method, revealing how identifying and reprogramming a single core belief can create profound and lasting change. We explore how unresolved emotional patterns can live on in the body as inflammation, digestive issues, tension, and fatigue, and why surface-level affirmations or positive thinking often fall short if the underlying belief system remains untouched.Tim also breaks down common misconceptions about hypnosis, clarifying how hypnotherapy works as a collaborative, empowering process rather than something that takes control away. He emphasizes the importance of shifting from self-criticism to self-compassion, and introduces the concept of “feelization”—associating positive emotions with desired outcomes—to support motivation, healing, and sustainable growth.This episode is especially meaningful for those who grew up in dysfunctional or emotionally unsafe environments, where beliefs around unworthiness, perfectionism, and self-doubt often take root. Tim reminds listeners that true transformation begins with recognizing that you are already enough, and that self-love is not a reward—it’s the foundation.To learn more about Tim Shurr and his work, connect with him here:👉 Facebook: https://facebook.com/timshurr👉 YouTube: https://youtube.com/timshurr👉 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@timshurrHey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in!
