Breaking the Cycle

Episode 11: The "good childhood" myth

You checked all the boxes.  Not abused. Not neglected.  Parents loved you.  Good childhood: CHECK✅ So why do you still feel like this? In this episode of Breaking the Cycle we talk about why the good childhood checklist is completely wrong, and what Dr. Gabor Maté says a genuinely healthy childhood actually requires. Because you don’t need a bad childhood to have wounds worth healing. You just need to have been human.

Episode 10: People Pleasing: The Survival Strategy That Stopped Serving You

We explore the difference between genuine helping, and people pleasing. This episode is for anyone ready to slow down this survival pattern.

Episode 7: How fear based religions keep you disconnected from yourself

Have you ever felt like your own intuition was a "danger" to your faith? If you grew up in a environment where doubt was a sin and fear was a motivator, you might find yourself fundamentally disconnected from your own voice.  In this episode, we explore the psychological and spiritual impact of fear-based religious conditioning. We dive into why these systems often require you to abandon your own judgment in favor of external authority and how that "disconnect" manifests as anxiety, people-pleasing, and self-doubt in adulthood.  If you want to connect with me, email at: vevian@vozmediano.com or find me on Instagram and Facebook @vevianvoz
