Summary
After an eleven-month hiatus, Adult Child is back... messier, deeper, and more honest than ever.
Host Andrea Ashley returns to revisit what it really means to heal from a dysfunctional family, through brutal honesty, emotional truth, and humor (of course).
This season kicks off with vulnerability and chaos — trauma bonds, repetition compulsion, and a story she’s never told before.
Buckle the hell up. Healing’s not linear, and it’s about to get real.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to adult child, where we take a deep dive into a dysfunctional family. |
| 0:31.8 | Ahoy, my dear shit shows. |
| 0:34.4 | My name is Andrea. |
| 0:35.6 | I am a total and complete shit show and I will be back next week |
| 0:39.9 | after an 11 month hiatus ready to dive deeper than ever. So buckle the hell up. So in my very |
| 0:48.1 | first episode, I said that I would be sharing my experience of being an adult child, experiences that some |
| 0:56.6 | might find shameful or embarrassing to talk about. |
| 0:59.5 | And I will be doing that again for you next week because folks, this healing journey |
| 1:05.6 | is not linear. |
| 1:07.5 | Because folks, this healing journey sometimes involves going backwards in order to move |
| 1:13.1 | forwards because this healing journey sometimes involves revisiting the mess. And boy did I. |
| 1:21.2 | Okay, boy did I. And I'm going to be quite honest with you and say that I'm feeling quite |
| 1:25.8 | vulnerable about what I'm going to be sharing with you all next week. But this is how we heal by shining a light on |
| 1:34.7 | these experiences that actually aren't shameful or embarrassing at all, but are a natural byproduct of the |

| 1:46.1 | context. And because I know that this not only happened to me for my greater good in order for me |
| 1:51.6 | to be able to heal, but also so that I could share it in hopes of helping others. So it is time to |
| 1:57.7 | revisit this concept of being an adult child and my story with the knowledge I've |
| 2:03.9 | gained and all that I've experienced since launching this back in March of 2021 on the floor of |
| 2:09.7 | my closet next to my cat's litter box. Next week we're talking relational trauma, trauma bonds, |
| 2:16.1 | and much, much more. It's going to be raw, vulnerable, |
| 2:19.7 | unapologetically authentic because that is what this podcast has always been about, |
