About this listen

In this thought-provoking episode of Da Panel, we get real about a question that hits home for so many: Can love alone “fix” someone who was raised in survival mode?

We dive into the emotional trenches, unpacking what it means to grow up in an environment where survival—not affection—was the priority. Does that upbringing create walls too high for love to climb? Can a heart built on defense ever fully open to vulnerability? And what happens when someone raised on pure love tries to connect with someone raised on struggle and fight?

Join us as we share our raw perspectives, real-life experiences, and hard truths about trauma, healing, and the difference between loving someone and being able to reach them.

Key Questions We Tackle:

  • Can love alone heal someone who’s never known emotional safety?
  • Does a survival-based upbringing block emotional growth and connection?
  • Can someone raised on love truly understand someone raised on survival?

This one’s deep, real, and necessary. Tap in, and don’t forget to bring your heart and your mind to the table.
