In this powerful episode, Lisa A. Romano, trauma-informed life coach and codependency recovery expert, dives deep into the often-overlooked role that anger plays in the healing journey from parental narcissism and complex trauma. Growing up in a dysfunctional family can leave emotional scars that are not easily seen, but they shape how we experience relationships and view ourselves as adults. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How denial serves as a survival strategy in dysfunctional family systems and how it can keep us stuck in toxic patterns The hidden anger that emerges from growing up with one narcissistic parent and another who was passive or emotionally absent Why it's common to feel guilt or confusion when recognizing anger toward a passive parent, even when they weren't overtly harmful How anger toward both parents can fuel the codependent behaviors and emotional dysregulation that often follow complex trauma The critical step of recognizing your anger as a valid emotion in the recovery process, and how it leads to clarity and healing Why This Matters When we grow up in a home where one parent's instability wreaks havoc, and the other's passivity leaves us emotionally unprotected, we internalize survival mechanisms like hyper-independence or helplessness. These patterns affect our ability to set healthy boundaries, build trust, and create meaningful connections later in life. Recognizing anger as part of the healing process is key. It isn't about blaming anyone, but rather about understanding how these dynamics shaped your sense of worth, your self-protection mechanisms, and your relationships today. Take the Next Step in Your Healing Journey Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program helps you break free from codependency, complex trauma, and the long-lasting effects of narcissistic abuse. Through transformational lessons, journaling exercises, and neuroscience-based tools, this program will guide you toward emotional autonomy and inner peace.  12 Week Breakthrough Method: Start Today for 50% Off Learn More and Sign Up Here   #CodependencyRecovery #NarcissisticAbuse #ComplexTrauma #ParentingTrauma #EmotionalNeglect #InnerChildHealing #TraumaRecovery #LisaRomano #BreakthroughHealing #HealingFromNarcissisticParents

In this episode, I open up about abusive relationships and trauma. What they take from you, how they change you, and how you rebuild when survival has been your only language. I talk about growing up in dysfunction, watching addiction, and repeating the patterns that mirrored what I saw. Abuse became my blueprint for love. I confused intensity for connection and chaos for care. For years, I kept abandoning myself just to stay chosen. This episode is about how trauma lives in the body, how the nervous system adapts to danger like it's home, and how healing starts when you finally stop running from what shaped you. I share what I learned about self-abandonment, trauma bonds, and why peace feels uncomfortable when you've spent your life in survival. This isn't a conversation about pain. It's about redemption. About taking accountability for the patterns I created, learning to call abuse what it was, and grieving the childhood I never had. It's about understanding that nothing was ever wrong with me. I was just protecting myself in the only ways I knew how. If you've ever stayed when you knew you should have left, minimized what hurt, or confused dysfunction with love, this one's for you. Because healing isn't about who broke you. It's about who you choose to become after. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

Brandon, Ryan, and David dig into who they were back then versus who they've become (for better or worse). Along the way, they uncover a shocking revelation: David might have been the most mentally stable one of the group. Yes, really. From cringeworthy embarrassments to legendary hijinks, the trio relives the glory days of the Justice Geek League—their unofficial (and highly unqualified) high school squad of weirdness, friendship, and questionable decision-making. They talk about what they believed, what they feared, how they coped, and how adulthood has either changed them entirely… or not at all. It's nostalgic, goofy, and surprisingly heartfelt—a reminder that growing up is weird, friendship is messy, and the past is always a little more unhinged than we remember.

It is estimated that there are at least 28 million adult children of alcoholics in the United States alone. The statistics are staggering. Combine those numbers with a deep understanding of the impact of growing up in an alcoholic home, and it becomes easy to understand why so many adult children struggle with emotional regulation, telling the truth, setting boundaries and with emotional dependencies that result in seeking approval and validation in order to feel somewhat 'normal'. Many adult children of alcoholics do not even know their parents or grandparents were alcoholics. Toxic family systems are enmeshed and shrouded in denial. When the adults in the family are not addressing their trauma, they inadvertently pass that trauma down to their children. Listen in as Lisa A. Romano offers adult children across the globe an opportunity to better understand themselves, how they process their emotions and perceive themselves and the world through a trauma lens, offering all those who are willing and ready an opportunity to live above the veil of consciousness, the only place where true transformation can occur.  This episode is a must-listen if you: Grew up with a parent who struggle with addiction. You are the grandchild of an alcoholic. Recognize that you struggle to know what you want or need. Identify as a cyclebreaker, who is ready to speak the truth and end generational trauma with you! ✨ Pro tip: Understanding your parent's trauma is often a key in recovering from subconscious faulty, negative childhood survival patterns.  Begin Your Healing Journey: Lisa introduces her signature 12 Week Breakthrough Method—a trauma-informed, neuroscience-based coaching program designed for adult children of narcissistic, neglectful, or emotionally immature parents. Inside the program, you'll discover: Brain retraining techniques rooted in neuroscience. Inner child healing and self-concept reorganization. Journaling prompts and assessments to increase self-awareness. Tools to stop subconscious self-abandonment and live authentically. How to integrate shadow work and break toxic generational patterns. Thousands have transformed their lives with this method—learning to step out of survival mode and into authentic, empowered living.

Let's talk about the kind of discipline that looks impressive but doesn't hold up under pressure. Discipline without integrity is performance. Integrity without discipline is potential wasted. And character is what proves which one you live by when no one's watching. We live in a world obsessed with optics people performing consistency, performing hard work, performing virtue. But performance isn't the same as integrity. One is about how you look. The other is about who you are.   Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

When Innocence Feels Like Rejection: How Codependent Mothers Misread Their Children What happens when a child's innocent comment gets filtered through the lens of an unhealthy, codependent mom versus a healthy, emotionally attuned mom? The difference can shape not only the child's self-worth but also the generational cycle of codependency. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach and bestselling author, unpacks how unhealed wounds distort a mother's perception of her child's needs and words. An emotionally unhealthy mother, trapped in her own unresolved pain, may perceive an innocent statement like “I wish I could play with you more” as a personal attack—triggering shame, defensiveness, or withdrawal. A healthy mother, however, sees the same comment for what it is: a child's bid for love and connection. This powerful contrast reveals why addressing codependency is not just self-work—it's generational work. If left unchecked, codependency programs children to feel responsible for others' feelings, abandon their own needs, and repeat the same painful patterns in adulthood. Lisa shows you how to break the cycle by teaching: Why codependent programming distorts reality and causes misinterpretation of innocent words. The neuroscience behind why trauma survivors often personalize others' emotions. How healthy mothers validate their child's truth without collapsing into shame or defensiveness. Why breaking free from codependency is the single most important gift you can pass to your children. This episode is a must-listen if you: Grew up with a parent who made you feel guilty for your feelings. Struggle with people-pleasing or fearing rejection. Want to stop codependency from spilling into your parenting or relationships. Are ready to see how your healing ripples into future generations. ✨ Pro tip: Awareness is the first step. When you learn to recognize these patterns, you reclaim your ability to create healthy connections and stop carrying wounds that were never yours to bear. Begin Your Healing Journey: Lisa introduces her signature 12 Week Breakthrough Method—a trauma-informed, neuroscience-based coaching program designed for adult children of narcissistic, neglectful, or emotionally immature parents. Inside the program, you'll discover: Brain retraining techniques rooted in neuroscience. Inner child healing and self-concept reorganization.

For me, the number one strategy for success has never been waiting to feel ready. It's been learning to train and take action afraid, unfinished, and at 80 percent done. I've learned that fear doesn't go away when you grow. It just evolves with your next level. So if you're waiting for confidence before you move, you'll be waiting forever. Confidence is built through movement, not before it. This episode is all about learning to work with fear instead of against it. I talk about how to identify it, communicate with it, regulate it, and lead it. Because fear isn't a flaw. It's biological. It's the body trying to protect you from uncertainty. But when you train through it, you retrain your nervous system to see discomfort as growth instead of danger. I'll also share why accountability is what actually builds your character, discipline, and freedom and why most people avoid it because it costs them their excuses. You'll hear the one question that changed everything for me: What would happen if I just never gave up? This episode is for anyone who's tired of waiting for perfect conditions.   Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

For most of my life, the name of Jesus was nothing more than a curse word to me. Faith wasn't something I wanted. In fact, I ran from it. I chased everything else success, relationships, performance, even destruction thinking it would fill me. But deep down, I was empty. This podcast is my honest journey of being humbled, broken, and finally led to Christ. It's about how He met me in the places I thought were too far gone, how He healed what I thought would always stay broken, and how faith went from being my last option to my only way forward. If you've ever questioned God, felt unworthy, or wondered if healing is really possible, my story is for you. I don't have it all figured out, but I know this  the moment I let go of who I thought I had to be, Jesus gave me a new life. And I want to share that hope with you.     Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

This podcast is about failure. The kind that builds you and the kind that breaks you. I've failed both ways, and I know what it feels like to wear failure as your identity and what it feels like to turn it into resilience. Here, we'll talk about the difference between failing forward and failing backward. Failing backward is when you let excuses run the show, when you hide behind masks, lower your standards, or quit before the lesson shows up. It is when failure becomes your story instead of your training. Failing forward is different. It is when you own it, use it, and move. You see failure as feedback. You let it sharpen your values, build your resilience, and increase your capacity. It is not about perfection. It is about refusing to quit, taking the next rep, and turning every bruise into muscle.     Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

In this solo episode, I share my experience starting out as a therapist a few years ago, including memories of my very first session during internship, the feelings of anxiety, and the pressure I felt to “have it all together.” I talk about my own mental health struggles, and how I've worked through feelings of shame around this...now viewing them as part of what makes me the therapist I am.I open vulnerably about what it means to me to be therapist and a human in the room, and how our struggles can shape the way we show up with others.Almost to the 300th episode!!STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

Pressure doesn't make you weak. It shows you where you still have work to do. The space between reacting and responding is where your future is built. In this episode, I'm breaking down how to regulate your emotions when life, leadership, and circumstances turn up the heat. You don't rise to the occasion. You fall to your habits, your training, and your ability to stay steady. Regulation isn't about shutting down your emotions. It's about recognizing them, working with them, and choosing how to lead yourself through the moment. When you decide in advance who you are, you don't have to negotiate with your emotions in the moment. When you don't know who you are, emotions will lead you. They'll decide for you in the heat of the moment. Fear will tell you to retreat. Anger will tell you to attack. Stress will tell you to shut down. But when you anchor in identity, you flip the script. You become the one leading your emotions instead of being led by them. And the second you put that label on it, your body obeys. You freeze, shut down, or spiral. But when you reframe it, you change the outcome. We'll get into what pressure really is, how to identify and work with your triggers, how to build a pause before you respond, and how to turn your emotions into fuel for strength, focus, and clarity.     Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

In this episode, I open up about what it can feel like to live with OCD, sharing personal experiences and giving visuals that bring the struggles to life. I also talk about the difference between OCD and generalized anxiety disorder, and the wide spectrum of ways OCD can manifest. This solo episode is a reminder that OCD doesn't always look the same from person to person, and that what I share is only a small portion of my experience. As always, this episode/my podcast/content is not a replacement for therapy or professional support. You are not alone.STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com 

We all know the red flags in a toxic relationship. Lies. Manipulation. Walking on eggshells. Most of us have seen it with someone else. Few admit when the toxic partner is the person in the mirror. This episode asks one question that cuts through the noise. If you were dating you, would you stay? I define self toxicity and why it can feel like living with an enemy who knows every weakness. I draw clear parallels to external toxic love. Broken promises. Harsh inner dialogue. Quiet neglect that looks like ambition. I trace the roots in conditional love and performance and show how shame rewires identity into I am the problem. I name the cost of staying stuck and why you keep recreating the same story. A healthy relationship with yourself isn't built on feelingsit's built on standards. It's built on refusing to cross your own boundaries anymore. It's built on demanding from yourself the same loyalty you've been begging from everyone else. And it's built on finally realizing you are not disposable. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

There are a lot of voices out there in the world of health, wellness & performance. Some – probably most of what we see on Instagram and Youtube – involve more show than go, more staged than engaged. Too often, it involves charismatic individuals who talk a very good talk but provide little insight into their actual walk. Or worse yet, we discover the healthy lifestyle claims made to sell supplements, exercise equipment or coaching resources turn out to be the result of performance enhancing drugs that never quite get mentioned in their script.Does those things matter? I hope so. We ALL have plenty of room for growth – and some things are, frankly, none of our business. But what if you could pull back the curtain, learn about the daily details of life beyond the sound bites? Would it make a difference? Provide some additional encouragement? In this special episode, Dr. Cooper shares his recent bloodwork results, biometrics and the daily routines he's implemented as he approaches turning 60.

Boundaries are how you prove to yourself that you mean what you say. Every time you keep one, you reinforce that your word matters. Every time you break one, you weaken your own trust and you usually don't notice until the consequences pile up. They're more than time management. They're about who you are when no one's watching. They keep your character intact. They give your ambition room to grow without burning you out. They protect the work and the impact you want to leave behind. When you break a boundary, it's not just about skipping the workout, saying yes when you meant no, or taking a deal you knew was wrong. It's about slowly eroding your self-respect. Do it enough, and you stop trusting yourself. And when you don't trust yourself, you start second-guessing, hesitating, and holding back because you know deep down you won't follow through. But when you hold a boundary especially in private you build self-trust that can't be faked. You start moving like the person you say you are. That's where confidence comes from. That's how excellence stops being something you chase and starts being who you are.     Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

Reset your nervous system to decrease emotional chaos in your life, career, and parenting. In a world where stress seems omnipresent, understanding and managing your nervous system can transform your life. Many of us experience overwhelming feelings and stress without realizing the root cause might be an unregulated nervous system. When you reset your nervous system, you equip yourself to handle stress, improve relationships with your children, and enhance your leadership potential. Understanding the Nervous System Your nervous system is the communication network between your brain and body, sending signals back and forth. When dysregulated, you might experience anxiety, tension, or even illness. Recognizing these signs is the first step in restoring balance. For many, symptoms may manifest as stress, tension, or worry, making it difficult to function at their best. Awareness and understanding of how your body reacts allow you to take control and make necessary adjustments. Recognizing Dysregulation Key to improving your well-being is recognizing when your nervous system is dysregulated. Symptoms appear in various forms, such as overthinking, stress, defensiveness, or even perfectionism. Your body's response, like persistent tension or discomfort, signals the need for change. By tuning into these signals, you can start to identify patterns and take proactive steps to address them. This recognition is vital for regaining a state of calm and focus. Steps to Reset Your Nervous System To reset your nervous system, focus on bringing your prefrontal cortex back online. This part of your brain, crucial for rational thinking, is often bypassed when stressed. Begin by acknowledging any tension and practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or muscle relaxation exercises. Creating a 'safety sequence'—asking yourself if you are safe, feel safe, and identifying physical reactions—can also guide you towards regulation. Implementing these techniques regularly can help shift your baseline state to one of calm and flexibility.   Read the full show notes and access all links.

In this deeply moving and soul-activating episode, Katie Carey sits down with Dominique Trueman, a guest from the Soulful Poems collaboration, to explore her powerful transformation through creativity, cancer recovery, inner child healing, and the path of living with zero limits. Diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in 2024, Dominique chose not to see it as a curse, but as a divine invitation to reconnect with her authentic self. In this episode, she courageously shares how peeling back the layers of old belief systems—like unworthiness, people-pleasing, and over-responsibility—has allowed her to reconnect with her creativity, rebuild her relationship with her mother, and awaken to a life of freedom, magic, and true expression. ✨ What we cover in this episode: How Dominique's poetry and creativity were reawakened after years of self-abandonment The impact of childhood trauma, parental mental illness, and taking on too much responsibility too young Why illness can be a wake-up call to slow down, heal, and come back home to yourself Her personal practice of writing to God/source to access divine guidance and write poetry How chronic people-pleasing creates toxicity in the body The sacred healing that happened when she sat beside her mother's hospital bed Why reconnecting to joy, family, creativity, and self-expression matters more than hustle and “success” Practical wisdom on living with presence, purpose, and zero limits
