About this listen
Before the symptoms… there’s a story.
Before the behavior… there’s a root.
In this episode, we talk about how recovery really begins — not with behavior management, but with honest reflection. We unpack how survival patterns like addiction, codependency, control, and burnout usually start long before we notice them.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about freedom.
You can’t heal what you’re afraid to look at.
But once you trace the root — you can finally stop watering it.
In this episode:
What "getting to the root" really means
How we both realized our symptoms were actually survival strategies
How childhood patterns can become adult pain
Why curiosity > shame when it comes to change
