About this listen
In this deeply personal episode, the hosts open up about the quiet but lasting impact of witnessing their parents argue while growing up. Even without constant conflict or divorce, those moments of tension left emotional imprints, shaping how they viewed safety, communication, and themselves during their tween and teen years.
They reflect on how these experiences, often minimized or brushed off, created internalized stress and confusion that still surfaces today. The conversation expands to explore how divorce and parental conflict affect young people differently, especially when they're old enough to understand what's happening, but too young to process it in a healthy way.
The hosts also share the coping mechanisms they developed to escape reality — from perfectionism to humor to creative expression — and how those habits helped them survive, but also masked the deeper healing they truly needed.
This honest discussion is about the invisible weight kids carry, and how revisiting those moments can be the first step toward healing.
