Breaking the Cycle Is Complicated: Here’s a Roadmap

If you grew up with a parent who had narcissistic or borderline traits, chances are no one ever showed you what being an emotionally healthy adult actually looks like.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why healing feels so confusing, messy, and unclear and what you actually need in order to move forward.

We’re talking about:

• Why “I don’t want to be like them” isn’t enough to create healthy change
• The skills cycle breakers were never taught growing up
• How dysfunctional family systems create blind spots
• What it actually takes to break the cycle

I’m also walking you through the exact framework I use inside The Cycle Breaker’s Vault so you can see what a real, practical roadmap looks like.
