Remember those childhood fears that gave you sleepless nights? How about those growing-up years that are packed with anxiety? It's personal, it's raw, and it's us - Hope and Dre unravel their stories of anxiety and the journey toward healing. From shedding light on the influences of our upbringing on our mental well-being, to tracing the roots of our people-pleasing tendencies and fear of abandonment, this episode is an introspective exploration of our past that shaped us. Dre’s exceptional narrative of turning her upbringing on its head while raising her own daughter serves as a beacon of hope – a testament to the fact that it's never too late to break the cycle.

Unpacking the trauma of our past, we delve into the impacts of childhood experiences on our adult lives. The strive for perfection, the fear of abandonment, and the strain of people-pleasing - we discuss how these issues, deeply rooted in our attempts to fix our family dynamics, have shaped us. But it's not all nostalgia and reflection; we also emphasize the power of self-growth and the profound impact it can have on shaping our future. As we share our stories of healing and growth, we hope to inspire you to unpack your own trauma and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Indeed, the past shapes us, but it doesn't define us. Your past is not your future.
