The Green Shoe Society Anthem At The Green Shoe Society, we own our lives, all of it. We fix what we want to fix and leave the rest behind. We set healthy boundaries, not because we have to, but because we choose to. We go after what we want in life, unapologetically. We are strong in all the best ways and we also let ourselves be soft, vulnerable, and imperfect. We don't beat ourselves up for needing rest. In fact, we take it, guilt-free. We say yes when it feels right, and no when it doesn't, without regret. We seek pleasure and joy, and we leave shame, guilt, and all those invisible ties behind. We stop worrying so much about what others think. We stop giving so many fucks. We learn to listen to our bodies, to trust them, to honor them. We stand tall when we need to, but we're also okay with letting go of the need to take on the world. We focus on our little corner of the world and celebrate the hell out of it. We give ourselves permission to feel all of life the good, the bad, the messy, and the beautiful. We've already busted through so many fucking paradigms, and now? The last one is our own mental cage. We are feminists. We are truth seekers. We are bullshit breakers. We live with passion and playfulness, singing like rock stars in our cars, or on the stage. We love the earth and all she gives us. We are good stewards, honoring her in everything we do. We dance to our record player, we sing with our hairbrush as our microphone, and we let ourselves be free. We are The Green Shoe Society and we're just getting started. What is your green shoe?!  If this anthem speaks to you, then consider me your life coach. If you're ready to stop waiting and start living the life you've been craving, I'd love to work with you one on one in my private coaching program...The Renegade Sessions. Together, we'll break free from what's holding you back and create the life you've been waiting for. Life is short, Wildflower, and you've already waited long enough. It's time to step into your most authentic life. I can't wait to meet you and help you make it happen. Visit me at amyloganlife.com to get started.

We'll also explore how the very skills you developed to survive can both help and hinder you later in life, and provide actionable strategies for reclaiming your inner child and healing generational patterns.

In this episode of InnerViews, host Ivory Bennett sits down with Montina Myers-Galloway, a licensed clinical mental health counselor, TEDx speaker, and advocate for Black women healing from parentification. Together, they explore the impact of adultification and emotional burdens placed on Black youth in foster care and juvenile justice. Montina shares how professionals can create trauma-informed spaces, support mental well-being, and empower youth to reclaim their narratives. This conversation is a must-listen for those committed to breaking cycles and fostering emotional healing in child welfare.

When a child is forced to carry the emotional or practical burdens of their caregivers, it can result in lasting trauma that often manifests in adulthood as emotional repression, perfectionism, and various mental health challenges. Parentified children are deprived of their natural developmental experiences—play, exploration, and carefree living—which are essential for discovering themselves and their environment. Healing these deep-rooted wounds requires addressing where the trauma resides in both the body and mind, a process explored through neurosomatic techniques. In today's episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer dive into the different types of parentification and the long-term impacts it can have on a child's emotional and relational well-being. They share personal stories of their own experiences with parentification and how they've worked through their trauma using neurosomatic methods and the principle of minimum effective dose. The episode also unpacks the roles of shame and guilt as common byproducts of parentification, offering insights into how to repattern these emotional responses to build healthier relationships. While the effects of parentification can run deep, healing is possible. By recognizing how it shows up in our lives and working with our nervous systems to cultivate safety, we can set boundaries and honor our needs. This process creates the foundation for genuine healing and growth. If this topic resonates with you, tune in to learn more about breaking free from the cycle of parentification and reclaiming your sense of self. Topics discussed in this episode: The two types of parentification and how they differ The patterns of compensation that develop in parentified children How parentification impacts the nervous system The connection between parentification and gut dysfunction The nuanced nature of parentification and its complexities The role of shame and guilt in the experience of parentification Adult relationships that mirror parent-child dynamics How to repattern internal reactions through neurosomatic techniques The importance of learning to reparent yourself for healing and growth     Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the next cohort now! https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com   Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com   Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired   Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846   FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired   This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique https://www.podcastboutique.com Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

This Isn't Therapy... it's the episode about one of the things that robs kids of a care-free childhood: being parentified. When kids are forced to grow up too soon and become adults in childhood, kids can take on adult-like responsibilities and burdens. In this episode, we talk about the difference between healthy responsibility for kids and parentification and talk about the impact of having childhood stolen from us and being burdened before we're developmentally ready.Article: Were you a ‘parentified child'?

Do you feel like you had to grow up too fast and you hardly remember having a childhood? Were you the one who took care of a lot of practicalities at home when other kids were out playing? Did your mother confide her secretes and problems to you when you were a child? Did you feel like you were the only one capable of taking care of things in your family, and that if you stopped things would fall apart? Did you have to take care of younger siblings, otherwise no one would do it? If you've answered yes to any of the above, chances are you have experienced a degree of what is defined as parentification.  So, what is parentification? In this episode I talk about the definition of parentification, how to know if you have been through it as a child, the impact it may have on your current life and I share 5 steps to begin your healing journey.

Send Victoria a text message!With over a decade of experience collecting stories globally, this week's guest and author, Annie Sklaver Orenstein, has been featured on platforms such as NPR and Time. Her book, Always a Sibling: The Forgotten Mourners Guide to Grief, is an empathetic resource for surviving siblings—a group often overlooked in mourning.Annie shares her insights about sibling relationships being some of the longest-lasting bonds in life. This perspective offers new dimensions to understanding grief, especially for those who haven't experienced sibling loss themselves. She emphasizes that siblings spend more time together during childhood than with their parents—highlighting how integral these relationships are.Annie shares her personal story of losing her brother Ben, who was killed in Afghanistan after enlisting pre-9/11 with aspirations to serve politically and make impactful changes. The raw recounting of receiving the devastating news underscores the surreal nature of loss and its immediate emotional upheaval.Key Takeaways:Sibling Relationships: Often our longest-lasting bonds, crucial yet frequently neglected in grief discussions.Suppressing Emotions: Surviving siblings might downplay their grief to protect grieving parents.Anger & Coping: Allowing oneself to feel intense emotions like anger can be vital for healing.Cultural Misunderstandings: Children aren't necessarily emotionally equipped despite exposure; they need support tailored to their developmental stage.Grief's Unique Forms: Each person's process is distinct; societal stages don't capture every individual experience.Annie highlights that while society often overlooks sibling mourners, acknowledging their unique grief journey is essential. Her advocacy through writing serves as a reminder that all forms of grief deserve recognition and respect.Ultimately, this episode sheds light on navigating complex emotions following a sibling's death while stressing self-compassion and honest emotional expression as pillars for coping with such irreplaceable losses.RESOURCES:Annie's Book | Always a Sibling: The Forgotten Mourner's Guide to GriefEp. 68 | Ken RossSupport the showThis episode is sponsored by Do Grief Differently™️, my twelve-week, one-on-one, in-person/online program for grievers who have suffered any type of loss to feel better.

Kevin shares his expertise on the developmental challenges that teens face during puberty and how these can be exacerbated by the stress of a family breakup.Avoiding the Pitfalls of ParentificationOne of the key themes explored in this episode is the concept of parentification – when children, particularly teens, are put into the role of a parent.

The "perfect moment" doesn't exist... stop waiting for it and face your fears. This week, we have a very special round table episode with Sarah and two team members, Jessica Gill & Grace Abbott. They had a front-row seat to recording last week's episode and listened live as Sarah & her mom had a meaningful and vulnerable conversation… If you haven't listened to that one yet, listen first! Jessica and Grace reflect on the recording and share some of their experience of having hard conversations with family members and some insight around how to have healthy communication and getting rid of the notion that there is a “perfect” moment to do anything. Sarah shares how she felt pre/post-recording with her mom, and what it brought up in her – including encouraging a friend to have a bold conversation with her father, which she thought she'd never have! If there is someone you need to have a vulnerable conversation with, we encourage you to drop your projection and assumption of what the outcome will be and boldly go forward to embrace healing. Can't wait to hear what you think of this episode!  ⭐ Follow us on Instagram: @wholeyschmidt

Didn't have perfect parents? Join the club. Listen to this week's episode to find more empathy, forgiveness, and love for your parents. Can we give them the benefit of the doubt– maybe they were doing the best they could… Nobody will ever be, or has ever been, a perfect parent. In pursuit of understanding our hurts, traumas, and wounds, we tend to blame our parents without considering why they couldn't show up the way we needed them to. In this episode, you are going to hear a bit about my mom's story and the challenges she faced. Taking care of her many siblings, joining the convent at 14, leaving at 25 and starting her own life for the first time, and processing a miscarriage. As you might recall from the last episode, my mom's inability to support me during my cancer experience was one of the most painful times of my life. Yet, in learning more about her life experience it has allowed me a deeper understanding of why she may have shown up in the way she did. And now years later, I have developed a close, supportive, and beautiful relationship with her -- in fact, she will be on the podcast soon! We're often quick to vilify our parents, especially when reflecting on painful childhood memories that still affect us today. Nonetheless, we must remember that our parents are just humans too, doing the best they could with the tools and self-knowledge they had at the time. Even though it can be challenging to put resentments aside, I can attest from firsthand experience that giving my mom permission to grow and transform, instead of continuing to blame her for her shortcomings, has become one of the greatest gifts to me and my family.  ⭐ Follow us on Instagram: @wholeyschmidt

Did you have to parent your parents? When I reflect on my own childhood, perfectionism and early parentification appear to be central themes that have shaped my identity. While these traits have undoubtedly brought about many positive things in my life– and a deep sense of independence… they have also initiated a lifelong sense of pressure, which I'm just starting to soften out of. So, what exactly are perfectionism and parentification? On this week's episode, we dive into these themes along with a piece of my story that illustrates how they played out in my life.   ⭐ Follow us on Instagram: @wholeyschmidt

The hashtag #eldestdaughtersyndrome is reported to have had a whopping 24.7 million views on TikTok, and counting, but what is it and why is it getting so much attention?  We look at the issues faced by the eldest sibling in the family, then talk more specifically about why daughters can feel resentful of the role that's foisted on them. It's easily done by us parents, particularly if we live in a patriarchal society.  The expectation that they will do more of the emotional and domestic heavy-lifting in the family than the other siblings can teach them great life-skills, even make them successful in the workplace, but it can also make them resentful at missing out on the benefits of childhood. In this episode we talk about how we spot it and what can we do to rebalance what might be happening in our family. THE EXCELLENT BOOK I MENTIONED:The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCulloughUSEFUL ARTICLES FROM HOME GIRLS UNITE ON INSTAGRAM:https://www.npr.org/2010/11/18/131424878/how-much-does-birth-order-shape-our-liveshttps://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2023/11/first-born-children-eldest-daughter-family-dynamics/675986/https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/eldest-daughter-syndrome-oldest-sibling-family-responsibilitiesBOOK RECOMMENDATIONS FROM SAGE THERAPY CHICAGO:The Birth Order Book: Why You Are the Way You Are by Dr. Kevin LemanThe Eldest Daughter Effect: How Our Family Order Influences Our Lives by  Lisette Schuitemaker The Sibling Effect: What the Bonds Among Brothers and Sisters Reveal About Us by Jeffrey KlugerSisters First: Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life by Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce BushYou Were Always Mom's Favorite!: Sisters in Conversation Throughout Their Lives by Deborah TannenAdult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents by Lindsay C.

Parentification - The Parentified Child

In this episode we will talk about feeling like a child and not like an adult - often accompanied by feeling overwhelmed and lost. One of the more general issues, but also an absolute key element on recovering from trauma - especially if it happens in the childhood. Especially if neglect and parentification is involved.We first talk about are there no adults, then why being an adult is important, then why do we still feel like children and then what can we do.

Anne Lincoln Holibaugh's story is marked by a curiosity about God, overcoming fears, challenges, and loss by a relentless pursuit of Jesus. From her early years, haunted by the fear of her parents' death, to her transformative encounter with Jesus at a church camp, Anne Lincoln's resilience and pursuit of God in times of struggle is at the heart of what it means to be an overcomer.Anne Lincoln's transition from her chaotic and abusive childhood home to the Christian bubble of Abilene, Texas, was a time of major disorientation for her. She faced the responsibility of caring for her parents, and the guilt of finding safety and happiness away from them. Despite these challenges, her faith provided solace and safety, and her community showed her kindness and grace. As we discuss her experiences, we also delve into the delicate balance of managing family relationships and personal growth.In this conversation, we explore Anne Lincoln's journey of healing and the impact of loss on her faith, relationships, and ministry. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of knowing God's love toward you and the importance of trusting Him during times of uncertainty. EPISODE CHAPTERS(0:00:06) - Ann Lincoln's Journey to Faith(0:11:08) - Finding Safety in Faith(0:25:25) - A Child's Burden of Responsibility(0:30:28) - Parentification and Overcoming Guilt(0:42:16) - Disorientation, Reorientation, and Grief(0:48:15) - Navigating Life and Loss After College(0:54:46) - Navigating Transitions and Healing in Ministry(1:06:36) - Grace in Struggle and Loss(1:19:52) - Loss and Transition in LifeFOLLOW:InstagramIf you've enjoyed this episode, one of the best ways to support the show and make sure others find it, is to subscribe and leave a review.

Parentification is one thing — but Step-Parentification is unique to itself.In this episode, we'll continue our conversation with experts Ron Deal and Lauren Reitsema to discuss the challenges of Step-Parentification.   The reality is that kids whose parent has remarried are now navigating a relationship with a step-parent.  Step-relationships can be tough for everyone involved.And navigating the expectations that come with new or not-yet-established relationships in the home can make any family susceptible to inadvertently slide into unhealthy roles or misplaced boundaries.No loving parent wants that for their kids — and neither does their caring step-parent.That's why it's important for all the adults to be aware of how blended family dynamics can often set the stage for Step-Parentification to emerge.Last week we talked with Ron and Lauren about Parentification, but step-parentification is an additional element we all need to understand so that we can avoid it.We're picking the conversation up right where we left off to help you identify and define healthy step-parent/step-child roles and establish appropriate boundaries in your home.You'll Discover:What "Step-Parentification" is and what it's notThe negative impact of Step-Parentification for kids now and into their futurePractical ways to safeguard your kids and step-kids from the burdens of Step-ParentificationWhat to do if Step-Parentification is going on in your kids' other homeWhat healthy roles and appropriate boundaries look like for a blended familyResources from this Episode:Article:  Your Child Is Not Your Confidant from The Washington PostBook:  In Their Shoes by Lauren ReitsemaBook:  Building Love Together in Blended Families by Ron Deal & Gary Chapman Ready for some extra support?We all need some extra support along the blending journey — we're here to help.  You can connect with us for a free coaching call to see how we might help you experience more clarity, confidence and connection in your home.  Schedule your free call here:  https://calendly.com/mikeandkimcoaching/freesessionLeave a Review in Apple PodcastsIf you're feeling extra helpful, we would be so grateful if you left us a review over on Apple Podcasts too.

Parentification... what is it? Were you parentified? Are you parentifying your kids? Today we dive in and work to figure out the answers to these questions.. whether it's emotional (caused by divorce, addiction, depression, etc) or instrumental (a child supporting a household financially, or taking on the role of parent to siblings), and the gray area between the potentially beneficial and the horribly toxic version of this phenomenon.  Make sure you check out our new YouTube channel for the on-camera version of our new episodes!!

When a child is particularly emotionally intelligent, and a parent is particularly emotionally vulnerable, an inversion of the typical relationship can occur where the child devotes themselves to meeting the parent's needs rather than the other way around. This can lead the child to lose touch with their own wants and needs – with their authentic self – which then leads to underlying feelings of worthlessness, uncertainty, and self-alienation in adulthood.Extreme versions of this pattern are known as parentification, but mild to moderate versions are surprisingly common. On today's episode of Being Well, Dr. Rick and Forrest Hanson explore how we can heal from the effects of these difficult early experiences and rediscover who we truly are. This material was completely eye-opening for me, and it's one of my favorite episodes we've ever produced.Want to learn more?
