What happens when you spend your entire childhood feeling invisible?

For many adult children of dysfunction, the deepest wounds aren't always physical—they're emotional. Feeling unseen. Feeling unheard. Believing you don't matter.

In this incredibly honest conversation, I sit down with Chris Milson, host of the Mental Health Movement Podcast: Voice for the Voiceless, to talk about what it's really like to grow up in a broken home, survive multiple suicide attempts, and slowly rebuild a life worth living.

Chris opens up about:

✔️ Growing up feeling invisible after his parents divorced

✔️ Surviving suicide attempts at 14 and again at 27

✔️ Living with PTSD and childhood trauma

✔️ Why boundaries changed his entire life

✔️ Learning to love himself after years of self-hatred

✔️ The surprising power of community and sharing your story

✔️ Why grief is so much more than losing someone

✔️ How one supportive teacher helped save his life

✔️ The importance of being gentle with yourself

We also dive into nervous system healing, emotional regulation, childhood conditioning, and why so many adult children struggle to receive love—even when it's finally safe.

If you've ever felt like your voice didn't matter…

If you've ever struggled with shame…

Or wondered if healing is actually possible…

This conversation is proof that it is.

Because healing doesn't begin when life becomes perfect.

It begins the moment you decide your story isn't over.
