f your feelings weren’t seen, heard, or valued growing up—there’s a good chance you learned to disappear in plain sight.

In this raw episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian and Iona open up about the long shadow emotional neglect can cast over your adult life.

We talk about:

• How you learn to minimise your needs to keep the peace

• Why ‘being easy’ or ‘low maintenance’ is often survival, not personality

• The inner critic you inherit when no one teaches you how to feel

• And how self-abandonment becomes a habit before you even realise it

💬 “It’s not that you don’t know what you want—it’s that you stopped asking a long time ago.”

We explore the uncomfortable truth: when your emotional world wasn’t mirrored back to you as a child, you grow up disconnected from it—and from yourself.

This episode is for anyone who was the 'good one', the quiet one, the fixer. The ones who learned to read the room better than they ever learned to read themselves.

🎧 Expect honesty, humour, and a few hard-hitting truths.
Because healing starts the moment you realise: you’re allowed to take up space.
