This week, I’m sharing a personal story I never expected to be telling: what it’s been like to go viral on TikTok as a boundaries coach for adult children of toxic parents. Spoiler alert—if you’ve ever wondered whether your healing work is actually paying off, I promise this episode will help you see your own progress more clearly.

I talk about the hate comments that echoed things my narcissistic mom used to say, the emotional whiplash of visibility, and the surprising power of not needing people to understand you in order to stay steady. This is one of those “here’s what it looks like in real time” episodes—real talk, no fluff.

We also talk about:

• The difference between therapy and coaching (and how to work together!)


• What emotional healing actually looks like as a cycle breaker (hint: it’s not always loud or dramatic, but it is powerful)

Whether you're in the thick of it or quietly realizing how far you've come, I hope this episode helps you pause and reflect on your own growth. You’re not crazy. You’re healing. And you’re doing a damn good job.
