In this powerful episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy sits down with author, poet, and memoirist Sarah Hanson to discuss growing up in a dysfunctional family, the hidden impact of emotional abuse, and the lifelong journey of reclaiming your authentic self. Sarah shares her experience of becoming the family peacekeeper, learning to navigate a volatile parent, and eventually realizing that healing required grieving the family she wished she had while accepting the reality of the one she was given. Together, Tammy and Sarah explore generational trauma, people-pleasing, hypervigilance, boundaries, self-compassion, and the courage it takes to stop living for someone else's approval. They also discuss Sarah's new memoir, Conjuring the Hurricane: The Best Way to Save Your Life Is Any Way You Can , a powerful story about leaving behind what harms you and creating a life that finally fits. If you've ever questioned your childhood, struggled with family boundaries, or felt responsible for everyone else's emotions, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible—and that you have permission to save your life.
