What if everything you’ve been searching for has been within you all along?

Cindy had a traumatic childhood, with a violent father who was in and out of her life and a mother who coped by drinking. As a child, she cared for her younger brother, took on adult responsibilities, and learned to suppress her emotions. As she got older, alcohol became her escape from stress and emotional pain. She searched for peace in achievements, relationships, and self-improvement, but nothing brought lasting joy. After losing her brother, she knew something had to change. In this episode, Cindy joins Annie to share her powerful journey of self-discovery and how she rebuilt trust in herself, set boundaries, and embraced emotions instead of avoiding them.

In this episode, Annie and Cindy will discuss:

- Growing up in a chaotic, violent home

- Taking on adult responsibilities as a child
