Love this!

Recovering Ppl Pleaser•9/25/2026

A friend sent me this podcast, I am not a podcast person lol but I am hooked. I started with episode 1! It’s all I want to listen to and learn more. I have been feeling so “stuck” in my healing and I’m getting so much value from this. So many news people to check out and methods to look into. I love how the music chosen for the beginning of each episode relates to the topic in some way. I have told so many people about it in hopes that many will benefit from the topics too. You are doing a great thing here Andrea!

Excellent Podcast

I just started listening to this a few months ago, and am so impressed. I will be listening to an episode and say “right?” or nod, because it genuinely makes you feel like you are in a room of people that get it. After a lifetime of no one seeming to want to understand, it is so healing to find this. Thank you to Andrea for starting this! I am grateful for every episode, it’s so helpful.

Not Alone

I’m grateful that Andrea addresses all of the issues around childhood trauma, CPTSD, and navigating life with gaping emotional wounds. I always feel relief when I listen to her podcast because it reminds me that I am not crazy and I am not alone.

A staple for me

I found Andrea’s podcast around the same time that I was introduced to Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families (ACA/ACOA). Adult Child is a wonderful complement to the work that I’m doing with ACA, and I’m so grateful for Andrea’s down to earth, authentic, and humorous approach to life and healing.

Great podcast

I love the honesty and gentleness yet blunt nature of this message. Very refreshing voice.
