456: Barriers to Breakthroughs: The Five Pillars

May 1, 2025
24:20

Today, I’m sharing a powerful conversation about something we all need but many of us were never taught: how to become a healthy adult.

In this episode, I walk through the five pillars of emotional health from my new book The Adult Chair and how each one helps us break old patterns, heal childhood wounds, and feel more grounded in our lives. I also open up about my own story, from growing up around anger to learning how to set boundaries and reconnect with my true self.

This is about personal growth, yes, but it’s also about freedom, better relationships, parenting, and how we show up in the world.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why disassociation and numbing are actually survival tools

  • What real boundaries look like and why they matter

  • How childhood wounds shape our adult behavior

  • How I used food to cope and what I’ve learned

  • Why every adult needs this guide for emotional health
