Adult Child

Meet Nate: Confronting Parentification and People-Pleasing...Growing up with an absent father and a parentifying mother amidst the backdrop of divorce, Nate was often the glue holding his fragmented family together. From a young age, the responsibilities thrust upon him shaped his early identity as the hero child, tasked with more than a child should bear. It wasn’t until a defining argument with his wife that Nate recognized the unsustainable nature of his people-pleasing tendencies, which were deeply rooted in his childhood experiences.Join us on this week's Shitshow Saturday to hear Nate's compelling journey from validation-seeking in his professional life to advocating for mental health in his leadership roles. Discover how understanding his role as an adult child has led Nate to healthier boundaries and a more fulfilling life.⬇️DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY⬇️https://theshitshow.mn.co4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST)Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chat📰SIGN UP FOR SHITSHOW NATION - ADULT CHILD NEWSLETTER👩HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT🐱  www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild🛍️SHITSHOW MERCH🛍️www.adultchildpodcast.com/shop🎙️NEW TO THE POD🎙️How I learned I was an Adult Child - The Tale of 2 BriansTHE LAUNDRY LIST - Common Characteristics of an Adult ChildFollow Andrea on socialwww.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodhttps://www.youtube.com/@adultchildpodCheck out La Pure and use my code ADULTCHILD for a great deal: https://www.lapurecosmetics.comOur Sponsors:* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ADULTCHILD for a great deal: https://happymammoth.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
