What happens when the love you crave turns into a whirlwind of pain? Andrea, the host of 'Adult Child,' welcomes Lisa Romano, a certified life coach and bestselling author, to unravel this complex question. Lisa, a voice in codependency and inner child recovery, shares her journey from a childhood marred by addiction and emotional neglect to finding healing and purpose.
She speaks candidly about 'Mother Hunger'—a term for the void left by unmet childhood needs—and how it wires us to confuse chaos with connection. With humour and heart, Lisa recounts moments from her past that shaped her understanding of love and self-worth. From buying sneakers for her mother as a child to confronting the harsh realities of emotional neglect, she paints a vivid picture of her path to self-awareness and recovery.
This episode is a mix of personal stories and broader insights into how childhood experiences shape adult relationships. Lisa's revelations about complex PTSD and the subconscious mind offer listeners a chance to rethink their own narratives. Andrea's casual yet sincere style creates a space for listeners to reflect on their own journeys while offering practical advice on healing unresolved childhood wounds.
If you've ever felt trapped in patterns of self-abandonment or are curious about reprogramming your subconscious, this conversation might just be the spark you need. Are you ready to explore what love truly means when it's tangled with pain?
