In Episode 8 of SUITT & BOOT, host Tshai Wright speaks with Jessica Carisse, founder of Carisse Consulting and host of Connecting the Dots, about childhood trauma, the father wound, and how survival often shows up as success.

This episode explores:

• Conditional love and emotional absence
• High-functioning survival roles
• Parentification and emotional numbness
• Trauma responses mistaken for personality traits

Using the Scorphenegle Framework—Scorpion, Eagle, and Phoenix—we unpack how awareness leads to healing, and how nervous system safety is the foundation for real transformation.

The episode closes with a Scorphenegle Reflection, connecting trauma to meaning and offering language for those who have built successful lives but still don’t feel at home in themselves.

SUITT & BOOT is about standing up in truth, breaking out of trauma, and turning pain into purpose.

In this episode of SUITT & BOOT, Tshai shares her lived experience growing up inside a family system where trauma wasn’t a single event — it was a pattern.

This episode explores how children who grow up without emotional protection often become scapegoats, fixers, people pleasers, or are placed into multiple roles at once — praised for being “strong” while being blamed for everything that goes wrong.

Tshai breaks down:

• What it means to be the scapegoated child
• How children are placed into dual roles (scapegoat and golden child)
• Why fixers lose their identity in adulthood
• How wounded boys and wounded girls often find each other
• Why healing can feel disorienting and lonely
• How unhealed parents and in-law dynamics compound generational trauma

This is not about blaming parents, partners, or families.
This episode is about pattern recognition, nervous system survival, and breaking cycles that were never meant to be carried.

If you’ve ever felt like you were “too strong,” “too responsible,” or “the one who holds everyone together,” this episode is for you.

SUITT & BOOT is about Standing Up in Truth & Transformation — and breaking out of trauma, one pattern at a time.

In this episode of SUITT & BOOT, Tshai speaks directly to the post-holiday emotional crash that so many people experience, especially those healing from family trauma, boundary violations, or unspoken relational tension.

This episode explores:

• Why your body can feel numb, exhausted, or flooded after family gatherings
• How emotional dishonesty and unspoken tension register in the nervous system
• What “delayed processing” really means (and why it’s not regression)
• Why nothing has to “happen” for your body to feel violated
• How family dynamics can spill into your romantic relationship
• Why integration is different from confrontation
• How journaling helps the body release what it’s been holding

This is not an episode about blame or confrontation.
It’s about listening to the body, honoring exhaustion, and giving your nervous system a place to land.

If the holidays left you feeling off — even though nothing “went wrong” — this episode is for you.
