Okay, so I'm pretty sure this is the last followup installment of my Gifted Child Syndrome/Model Child series, but.... In this episode, I wanted to cover what it's like to spend most of your childhood as a pseudo-adult and having to scramble to pick up the pieces in your adult years. There's a super crazy disconnect of how to care for yourself and manage your own responsibilities or even how to just relax and figure out who you are as a person and what you like when you spent a great deal of your upbringing being the emotional (and sometimes physical) caregiver for members in your family. Relax while I unpack my thoughts and share my insights on trying to juggle "sponserberleries" and still trying to grow up as an adult.

Welcome to December!! Thanks for sticking around with me this long and listening to all my crazy tales. This isn't your typical talk of forgiveness and tolerance. I'm not gonna preach to you about how forgiveness is good for your soul and all that jazz. I lowkey want all the smoke this holiday season and I'm here to back you up if you want it too (not with me ofc, I'm a non-smoker and I'll cry 😂). Kick back and get F.A.T. on all these talks of forgiveness, acceptance, and tolerance (ya see what I did there? huh? yeah you get it....). As always, I'll share my experiences with you and talk to you about what this holiday season can look like for you if F.A.T. is or isn't in the cards for you.

This is an archived episode in light of recent personal events. I wanted to talk to you guys about how life can come down on you and make you retreat into survival mode. It can be dark and isolating when your world gets turned upside-down and it really changes the way you function moving forward.

So, in a crazy turn of events, I guess I ended up making a part 3 to my Gifted Child Syndrome/Model Child episode. (Huh, who would've thought?) In this episode, I talk a little more in depth about the dangers of growing up too quickly, giving up aspects of my childhood for the benefit of others, and being seen as "mature" by my older counterparts. Dive into this crazy tale with me and maybe you'll find something new that resonates with you and your life experiences.

Sooo... this is pretty much a follow up to last week's episode. There's layers to being a Gifted/Model Child, and none of it's easy. I go over the ways I broke myself down mentally to try to gain the love and approval of my parents and to maintain good standing in their eyes. I also talk about how those decisions affected me in my adult life.

Were you considered a "gifted" child growing up?

Would you describe yourself as a "people-pleaser" in your adult years?

Do you suffer from the crippling weight of perfectionism? Well, DO YA?!

But don't fear, there's hope for your humble hostess, and there's hope for all of you former gifted kids too! Don't forget to check me out on Facebook and Instagram Live every Wednesday @ 6PM ET, where I go over the latest episode (this one) and listen to your stories.

WELCOME BACK TO SEASON 2!!!

I'm back after a short hiatus with all new topics and stories and plenty of opportunities for you guys to join the discussion! Thank you to everyone who stuck around and checked in while I was gone, anticipating my comeback. I'm so glad I could keep coming back to make more episodes for you guys.

This week's topic is about HURT: What is it? Where does it come from? and Why do we feel it so deeply? As we navigate the intricacies and complexities of being hurt, take time to think about the ways you've been hurt and the ways you may have hurt others. Also while you're acknowledging your pain, remember to be gentle with yourself and try not to fault yourself for things that you didn't know. As always, this is a healthy, judgement free space where we get real with ourselves and the things we go through, making sure we exercise love and compassion as we grow through our traumas.
