In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

What if the most loving thing you can do... is let go? This episode is a powerful reminder that healing sometimes means detaching—even from the people we love most. In this episode, I’m joined by Kristina Wandzilak & Constance Curry , the mother-daughter duo behind the memoir The Lost Years: Surviving a Mother and Daughter’s Worst Nightmare . Their story is a raw and honest account of Kristina’s battle with addiction and Karen’s journey of learning how to love her daughter without losing herself. Key Takeaways ... Detachment is love, not abandonment. Sometimes the most compassionate choice is stepping back and letting loved ones face their own consequences. Healing codependency starts with boundaries. Connie's recovery began when she stopped trying to save her daughter and focused on saving herself. Sobriety is just the beginning. Kristina reminds us that the real healing often starts after getting sober—and it’s a lifelong process. One person’s healing shifts the whole system. Connie's growth rippled through the entire family, proving real change doesn’t require everyone to get on board.

In this powerful episode, three sisters unpack the parts they were forced to play and how they’re breaking free. Andrea sits down with three sisters—Kayla, Mariah, and Jackie—to explore the complex and often unspoken dynamics between siblings raised in the same dysfunctional home. While they shared the same environment, their emotional experiences, survival strategies, and lasting wounds were remarkably different.

What you'll hear in this episode: The different “roles” assigned to siblings in dysfunctional families—and how they shape identity and self-worth How unresolved childhood wounds continue to play out in adult relationships What it’s like to awaken to the dysfunction as siblings at different times The power of individual healing—and the added layer of healing alongside siblings Why finding community (like The Shitshow) can be a total game-changer 🎧 Tune in now and be reminded: you’re not alone in untangling the past—and healing doesn’t have to be done in isolation.

BREATHE TO HEAL: A 6-Week Journey of Somatic Release - Get your spot here LIMITED CAPACITY --> adultchildpodcast.com/breathetoheal The Role of Humility in Healing Humility in trauma recovery isn’t about shrinking—it’s about softening. It’s the ability to face ourselves and our patterns without defensiveness or shame. So often, we expect healing to mean “getting over” something. But what if healing is about learning how to live with the parts of ourselves we can’t fully change? Some things—the body image issues, the fear of abandonment, the waves of rage or shutdown—don’t vanish completely. And when they resurface, it doesn’t mean we’ve failed. It just means we’re human. Real healing begins when we stop asking, “Why can’t I just let this go?” and start asking, “How can I be with this right now?” That shift takes humility. Not just the humility to say, “I’m hurting,” but also the humility to say, “This might be part of me for a long time—and I can still have a good life.” It’s not weakness. It’s strength. It’s letting go of the illusion that we’ll one day arrive at some perfected state of “healed.” Maybe we never will. Maybe healing is a verb, not a destination. Maybe the work is in allowing space for the mess to still exist without letting it define us. And maybe humility is what lets us stop striving and start accepting—with softness, not surrender. We were taught to strive for perfection, to hide our pain, to “fix” ourselves so we’d finally be worthy. But this path asks something different. It asks us to meet ourselves as we are. To integrate rather than erase. To stop waiting for some future version of us to be lovable. Humility doesn’t mean giving up—it means showing up. Gently. Again and again. Even when it hurts. Especially when it hurts. ⬇️ DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY ⬇️ https://theshitshow.mn.co 4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST) Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chat 📰 SIGN UP FOR SHITSHOW NATION - ADULT CHILD NEWSLETTER 👩 HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT🐱 www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild 🛍️ SHITSHOW MERCH 🛍️ www.adultchildpodcast.com/shop 🎙️NEW TO THE POD🎙️ How I learned I was an Adult Child - The Tale of 2 Brians THE LAUNDRY LIST - Common Characteristics of an Adult Child Follow Andrea on social www.instagram.com/adultchildpod www.tiktok.com/@adultchildpod https://www.youtube.com/@adultchildpod ⚠️Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ADULTCHILD for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com Our Sponsors: * Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ADULTCHILD for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy…

BREATHE TO HEAL: A 6-Week Journey of Somatic Release - Get your spot here LIMITED CAPACITY --> adultchildpodcast.com/breathetoheal Toxic shame isn’t just a feeling—it’s a state of being, hardwired into our nervous system through childhood experiences. Let's break down the neuroscience behind toxic shame and see how we can begin to rewire our brains for healing. Robyn Gobbel is a psychotherapist specializing in relational neuroscience, translating complex brain science into practical strategies for parents and professionals. She authored " Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors ," providing insights into understanding and addressing challenging child behaviors. Key Takeaways: What Makes Shame Toxic? Unlike guilt or healthy shame, toxic shame makes you believe you are fundamentally flawed, not just that you made a mistake. How Toxic Shame Gets Wired Into the Brain Early experiences of misattunement, neglect, or invalidation shape how we see ourselves and stay locked in our nervous system. Rewiring Shame Through Disconfirming Experiences Healing requires new, safe experiences that contradict old shame-based expectations of rejection and abandonment. Why We Keep Recreating Trauma in Relationships Our brains unconsciously seek familiar dynamics, hoping for a different outcome—but healing means consciously breaking those cycles. The Role of Memory Reconsolidation in Healing We can rewire our brain’s response to shame by reshaping how we store and process painful past experiences. ⬇️ DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY ⬇️ https://theshitshow.mn.co 4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST) Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chat 📰 SIGN UP FOR SHITSHOW NATION - ADULT CHILD NEWSLETTER 👩 HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT🐱 www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild 🛍️ SHITSHOW MERCH 🛍️ www.adultchildpodcast.com/shop 🎙️NEW TO THE POD🎙️ How I learned I was an Adult Child - The Tale of 2 Brians THE LAUNDRY LIST - Common Characteristics of an Adult Child Follow Andrea on social www.instagram.com/adultchildpod www.tiktok.com/@adultchildpod https://www.youtube.com/@adultchildpod Our Sponsors: * Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ADULTCHILD for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy…
