On this episode of Affirm That Sh!t, I sit down with Shannan Kym for a raw conversation about childhood trauma, addiction, family dysfunction, people pleasing, grief, and what it takes to stop surviving and finally start living. Shannan grew up surrounded by addiction, mental illness, and abuse. Those experiences followed her into adulthood, where shame became people pleasing, alcohol became an escape, and maintaining the perfect image hid what was really happening underneath. After reaching one of the darkest points of her life, a longtime friend helped Shannan enter treatment and confront a powerful truth: what she had spent a lifetime calling “normal” wasn’t normal at all. Today, Shannan is the author of Find the Answers Within You: 10 Pathways Towards Self-Discovery. Her story is a reminder that your past may explain parts of you, but it doesn’t get to decide who you become next. As Shannan says, “My purpose was in my pain.” Maybe the person your younger self spent years waiting for has finally arrived. Maybe that person is you.
