The more we try to stay comfortable today, the more uncomfortable we will be tomorrow.

My name is Andrea and this is It All Child.

Welcome back to It All Child, where we take a deep dive into the impact of growing up in a dysfunctional family.

Ohoy, my dear shit shows.

For any new listeners, my name is Andrea and I am a total shit show.

And I also have a problem with talking with food in my mouth.

And I just want to start out today's episode by apologizing for talking with food in my mouth.

Last week's episode with Tiffany.

I wasn't even thinking about it.

I was just hanging out with Tiffany sitting on the couch, munching away, not realizing that I'm recording this for a podcast.

And a lot of people don't enjoy or actually have a real problem with where people talk with food in their mouth.

So I apologize and that will not happen again.

And thanks to whoever left their review that said that, I do just want to say that.

I am always, always open for feedback.

My door, my DM, my email is always open for feedback in any way.

And same goes for my community.

You know, I want all y'all shit shows to know that you can come to me for feedback.

And I think everybody who has done that can tell you that I've been very receptive.

So I was thinking at one point, like, do I set up some sort of thing where people within the community could provide anonymous feedback?

But then on further thought, part of this recovery, part of this adult child shit is learning how to speak up for ourselves

and learning how to have those types of conversations, which are very vulnerable and uncomfortable for us.

And so I almost feel like if I had some sort of an anonymous feedback thing set up, I almost feel like that's enabling in a way.
