In this episode of Flourish and Thrive, I talk about the deeper reason this pattern keeps repeating, unhealed childhood wounds. Many of us think the issue is poor relationship choices, but often the root lies in childhood trauma that shaped what feels familiar, safe, and normal to us.

I break down how childhood wounds like neglect, rejection, abandonment, and broken trust show up in adult relationships, why emotionally unavailable men can feel familiar, and how these early experiences quietly influence who we choose and what we tolerate.

This conversation isn’t about blaming the past — it’s about understanding it. When we can name the childhood wound we carry, emotional healing becomes possible. Awareness helps us stop repeating the same relationship patterns and start choosing connections rooted in safety, clarity, and emotional availability.

If you’ve ever wondered why love feels hard or why the same relationship dynamic keeps showing up, this episode will help you connect the dots.

In this first episode of Flourish and Thrive with EA, I introduce myself, share why I became a trauma and relationship therapist, and explain why this space exists.

I talk openly about growing up with emotional neglect, experiencing criticism and abandonment, and how those early experiences shaped my adult relationships—people-pleasing, low self-esteem, and repeated toxic patterns.

I also share my personal turning point, the moment I realized I needed to stop abandoning myself to be there for everyone else, and how that decision changed my life and led me into the work I do today.

This episode sets the foundation for what Flourish and Thrive with EA is all about,a safe, grounded space for women healing from toxic relationships, childhood wounds, and unhealthy emotional patterns.

If you’ve ever felt emotionally unseen, overextended, or tired of giving more than you receive, this space was created for you.

New episodes are released once a week.
