What happens when your first community, your family, isn't a place of comfort, trust, or safety? In this raw and honest episode, we explore the quiet shame that so many carry: growing up without the support system we were taught to expect.
Instead of feeling grounded by our roots, some of us felt isolated, dismissed, or even harmed. So we venture into the world seeking connection, looking for the love and stability we couldn't find at home.
💔 This conversation is for anyone who had to build their own sense of belonging from scratch.
Healing begins when we acknowledge the truth, no matter how painful.
Let’s Unpack This Together!
Belonging can be built
You can create the family and support you didn’t grow up with.It’s okay to grieve the family you didn’t have
Missing something you never got is a valid kind of sadness.Roots don’t always run deep
Some family ties are shallow, and that’s a hard truth to face.
