Hosted by Maria Shkreli, LMHC, author of Breaking Cycles and Breaking Up with Toxicity, the podcast explores the messy, complicated, and very human side of life — from unhealthy relationship patterns and family dynamics to workplace stress, life transitions, emotional reactions, and the cycles that quietly shape us. Some episodes are educational. Some are conversational. Some may challenge the way you see yourself, your relationships, or the people around you. Because the truth is… we all have patterns. Some help us grow. Some quietly keep us stuck. Through real conversations, psychological insight, personal reflection, and a little bit of spice, Maria helps listeners better understand the patterns they repeat, the emotional experiences they normalize, and how to navigate life with greater awareness, clarity, and emotional health. No perfection. No pretending. Just real conversations about life, relationships, and breaking unhealthy cycles.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-06T02:20:47.981511+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breaking-up-with-toxicity-6618238"},"episode":{"title":"EP 11: Rosa’s Story: Healing, Patterns, and Parenting Through Depression","slug":"ep-11-rosa-s-story-healing-patterns-and-parenting-through-depression","published_at":"2025-10-02T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breaking-up-with-toxicity-6618238/ep-11-rosa-s-story-healing-patterns-and-parenting-through-depression","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breaking-up-with-toxicity-6618238","url":"https://breaking-up-with-toxicity.captivate.fm","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/ff77bada-db9f-4d5a-bad7-5fcac1ae66a2.mp3","summary":"Rosa came to talk about her adult child’s depression — but what unfolded was way bigger. The deeper we went, the more it became clear: her own upbringing, family patterns, and old wounds were shaping today’s struggles in ways she hadn’t realized. This episode pulls back the curtain on the invisible ties between parents and children — the unspoken rules, the pressure to keep the peace, and the cycle of dysfunction that sneaks in when no one is looking. It’s raw. It’s honest. It will make you ask yourself:  Am I repeating cycles I swore I’d never repeat? We talk about depression, yes — but also about generational patterns, mother-daughter dynamics, and what it really takes to stop carrying pain that was never yours in the first place. If you’re a parent, a child, or simply someone trying to rewrite your story, this one will hit home.","meta_description":"Rosa came to talk about her adult child’s depression — but what unfolded was way bigger.
