David Lindell is an artist, spiritual coach, recovery coach, and a member of the Tulalip & Suquamish Native tribes. David shares his story of suffering to healing - growing up in extreme poverty in an alcoholic abusive home, getting locked up in a psychiatric facility at the age of 18, meth addiction, bank robberies, and what finally motivated him to turn his life around. He also discusses the rampant intergenerational trauma amongst the Native American population and how he has integrated Native cultural and spiritual practices into his recovery journey.https://www.facebook.com/lindells.nativeartThe Red Road to Wellbriety: In The Native American Way⬇️DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY⬇️https://theshitshow.mn.co4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST)Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chatSIGN UP FOR SHITSHOW NATION - ADULT CHILD NEWSLETTER👩HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT🐱  www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild🛍️SHITSHOW MERCH🛍️www.adultchildpodcast.com/shop🎙️NEW TO THE POD🎙️How I learned I was an Adult Child - The Tale of 2 BriansTHE LAUNDRY LIST - Common Characteristics of an Adult ChildFollow Andrea on socialwww.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodhttps://www.youtube.com/@adultchildpodMid-roll music source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUWXe37CSaA (I do not own the rights of song - for entertainment purposes only)Our Sponsors:* Check out Time4Learning: https://www.time4learning.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On today's episode, Saskia Lightstar shares her survival story and how stage 3 breast cancer was the catalyst to her adult child healing journey. Saskia is a spiritual teacher, a wellbeing coach, energy healer and the author of The Cancer Misfit: A Guide to Navigating Life After Treatment. It took a lot of mistakes, failed businesses, divorces and being diagnosed with cancer, for her to find the willingness to venture down a spiritual path and become the happiest and greatest version of herself she has ever known. Plagued by self-hate and low self-esteem for most of her life, Saskia has now become a happiness and self-love ninja, and guides others on how to be happier than they ever dreamt possible. She is a testament to the fact you can feel lost or ‘less than’ your whole life and still find your way to a place of confidence, happiness and peace.instagram.com/saskia.lightstarWhy Do I Act Like This in Relationships - An Attachment Theory Workshop⬇️DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY⬇️https://theshitshow.mn.co4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST)Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chatSIGN UP FOR SHITSHOW NATION - ADULT CHILD NEWSLETTER👩HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT🐱  www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild🛍️SHITSHOW MERCH🛍️www.adultchildpodcast.com/shop🎙️NEW TO THE POD🎙️How I learned I was an Adult Child - The Tale of 2 BriansTHE LAUNDRY LIST - Common Characteristics of an Adult ChildFollow Andrea on socialwww.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodhttps://www.youtube.com/@adultchildpodOur Sponsors:* Check out Time4Learning: https://www.time4learning.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We are joined today by former classmate Lucy Turchin for a super RAW and VULNERABLE conversation. Lucy is a singer, songwriter, recovering addict, and former sex worker. Lucy shares about her dysfunctional upbringing, her struggles with body image as a child, being sex trafficked at the age of 15 (TRIGGER WARNING), and the deep fear of abandonment that resulted from having a physically and emotionally unavailable father. We also reminisce about the "good old days" at a cult-like "character building" boarding school. Lucy's YouTube Channelinstagram.com/blakeandlucymusicLeaving Crazy Town workshop⬇️DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY⬇️https://theshitshow.mn.co4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST)Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chatSIGN UP FOR SHITSHOW NATION - ADULT CHILD NEWSLETTER👩HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT🐱  www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild🛍️SHITSHOW MERCH🛍️www.adultchildpodcast.com/shop🎙️NEW TO THE POD🎙️How I learned I was an Adult Child - The Tale of 2 BriansTHE LAUNDRY LIST - Common Characteristics of an Adult ChildFollow Andrea on socialwww.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodhttps://www.youtube.com/@adultchildpodOur Sponsors:* Check out Time4Learning: https://www.time4learning.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In today's episode, Andrea dives deep into Step 4 of the ACA program - "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves." We discuss (and by we, I mean ME!) the purpose, the process, the key areas of focus (shame, abandonment, resentment, harm, and trauma) and what it means to take a blameless inventory. We also discuss how an ACA 4th step differs from a 4th step in AA/NA, as well as the limitations of the 12-steps in addressing unprocessed trauma.ACA Step WorkbookTrauma and 12 StepsLeaving Crazy Town workshop⬇️DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY⬇️https://theshitshow.mn.co4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST)Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chatSIGN UP FOR SHITSHOW NATION - ADULT CHILD NEWSLETTER👩HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT🐱  www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild🛍️SHITSHOW MERCH🛍️www.adultchildpodcast.com/shop🎙️NEW TO THE POD🎙️How I learned I was an Adult Child - The Tale of 2 BriansTHE LAUNDRY LIST - Common Characteristics of an Adult ChildFollow Andrea on socialwww.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodhttps://www.youtube.com/@adultchildpodMid-roll music source https://m.soundcloud.com/spiritkind76/bill-withers-lovely-day-karizma-remix (I do not own the rights of song - for entertainment purposes only)Our Sponsors:* Check out Time4Learning: https://www.time4learning.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
