Episode Overview

In this powerful episode, Coach Liz explores how growing up in an alcoholic or emotionally chaotic home shapes identity, self-worth, and survival patterns long before adulthood. You will learn how shame forms early, why hyper-independence becomes a coping strategy, and how many people lose their authentic selves while simply trying to survive.

This episode creates space for understanding, not blame, and offers gentle awareness for those beginning their recovery journey.
