What secrets to maintaining sobriety can be uncovered? Andrea Ashley's latest episode of Adult Child explores the complex journey of self-discovery and healing with guest Vevian Vozmediano. Vevian, a trauma-informed coach, shares her personal experiences growing up in a high-control religious environment as a Jehovah's Witness, and how it shaped her identity and life choices. Her candid storytelling paints a vivid picture of the struggles faced by those who grow up trying to meet the expectations of emotionally unavailable parents.

Vevian recounts her painful journey of being excommunicated and losing her entire community overnight, leading to a quest for self-discovery. The episode is a raw exploration of themes like the mother wound, generational trauma, and the importance of self-trust.

Vevian's story is not just about survival but also about thriving and finding love and acceptance within oneself. This episode offers listeners a heartfelt reminder that healing is possible, even in the face of deep-seated wounds. So, what drives someone to seek a life without alcohol?
Could it be the pursuit of genuine self-acceptance and freedom from past burdens? Dive into this episode for a thought-provoking journey into healing and self-discovery.
