---------------------------------------------------------------------

In this vulnerable episode, Erin and Daren confront their own wounds with Julian Bermudez (therapist and psychedelic integration guide). From explosive parenting moments to people-pleasing patterns, they dissect how childhood survival strategies become adult self-sabotage with equal parts clinical insight, personal confession, and practical solutions for breaking intergenerational cycles.

What We Covered:

- Choosing Curiosity Over Conflict

- The Attachment vs. Authenticity Trap

- Erin's "Screaming Mom" Confession

- The People-Pleasing Origin Story

Actionable Strategies:

✅ For Pattern Recognition: When you feel reactive, ask: "What unmet childhood need is driving this? When did I first learn this response?"

✅ For Self-Compassion: Replace self-criticism with curiosity, thank your reactive parts for trying to protect you, then comfort the underlying wound.

✅ For Parents: Your unhealed wounds will trigger with your children. Doing your own inner work isn't selfish; it's essential for breaking cycles.
