This episode examines what it means to come home to an authentic self after trauma, people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and internalized oppression. Dr. Thema Bryant discusses the role of cultural heritage and community in healing, why boredom and busyness can signal disconnection from dormant gifts, and how reparenting turns insight into everyday care. The conversation also covers anger, nervous-system regulation, boundaries, perfectionism, confidence, and beginning before feeling fully ready.
