Don't Drink Poison Just Because You're Thirsty (Season 1)

My healing journey resulted in dozens of AHA! moments. This episode is dedicated to Susan Forward, best selling author of “Toxic Parents”. This book was life-changing for me and a wonderful resource for me to draw from on my healing journey. (Reminder: we are not therapists or life coaches.) We are people hoping the concept of “healing” from generational trauma goes viral hope to be the voice of the unheard. I take the subject of toxic families more seriously than I take myself. This is episode 2 of The Stuck Stops Here Series.

i am enjoying these podcasts Thankyou. I relate to so much of it. It is encouraging me to share my own experiences. Time to shine our light of awareness. 💗

Very useful. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and your story. Neil 😀☯️

So relatable... which is funny cause we're talking about relatives! So much to absorb and I appreciate you ladies breaking it down and holding up maps for further exploration.

So good! Thank you!

I purchased the book after listening to the 1st podcast and it was like looking at my childhood. Wow! This talk was great.

After listening to the first podcast a 2nd time then listening to this one, I am filled with hope for a better life. I could see my life in many ways in this podcast as well. In the near future I will attempt to confront my parents and lay it all on the line for myself. I say this because my mother has never allowed me to speak or express my emotions and my Dad just goes along with what she says to do..... or not do! I’m hopeful I can do what I need to do for me to have a better life. It’s never too late!! Thank you Tami!

Exceptional. Thank you 😊💕🙏🏻🌷

So glad to have a second episode to listen to❣️ Keep up the good work! 🙏🏻💕

The podcast series validated as well as empowered me on my healing journey. I realize the resistance as a child and many traumatic events were not only generational toxic shame but what my parents could not provide. As you say how could they give you something they never knew or had. Taking care of me no matter what their issues are.
Thank you for this support and knowledge!!! ❤️💕🎈🦋🙏🏽

Crying 😭 Grateful for both of you to be talking about this in such a humorous way, but without taking away its weight. Looking forward to the next episode!

Thank you very much 🙏

Thank you again for a empowering talk. I see my mother manipulated me with a my way or highway attitude all her life and I see I am still recovering from the bullying I recieved at school from teachers she did nothing about. She still punishes me with mind games because I didn't meet her expectations and your book and talk has shown me I need to cut the cords. She will always be a bitter manipulator. She can not change and does not want to. I can. Have started journaling my history and these podcasts and the book is very healing. I can relate to so much in it
