Episode Synopsis

We talk a lot about trauma, but not always about the fear that raised us.Not the fear of monsters under the bed — I’m talking about the fear we inhaled like air. The fear passed down in glances, in rules that didn’t make sense, in silence at the dinner table. The kind that told us to be small, stay quiet, and never question why the grown-ups were always tired or angry.In this episode, I dig into the emotional atmosphere that shaped a lot of us — homes where survival came before safety, where control wore the mask of love, and where fear taught us more than our parents ever said out loud.If you’ve ever felt like your anxiety had a blueprint, this one’s for you.
