We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.

My name is Andrea and this is Adult Child.

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

Hello, my dear shit shows. How the hell are you doing? Do you guys ever talk back to me?

I was wondering that the other day because I talk back to my podcast when I listen to podcasts.

I talk back to the host. I'm curious. Are y'all chat now loud back with me? I hope so.

I'm doing well sitting here in my fancy ass podcast studio known as my closet next to my cat's litter box and this week has been good.

I've been in a bit of withdrawal with the Johnny Depp and Amber herd trial is on break this week and I have become rather obsessed with this trial.

It is like adult child gone wild. It's so fascinating to me. There's so many different adult child themes in play and I'm a reality TV whore as it is so I've just been eating it up.

Let me know if you guys are into it as well.

So today we are diving deep with Sasuke Lightstar and Sasuke popped up in my Instagram DMs and left me the following voice memo.

Hello lovely lady. I just wanted to say a big fat juicy thank you all the way from Wimbledon Common in London where I'm currently walking my dog.

I found Alan on about three months ago and then from there I discovered ACA and it has already transformed my life.

So on my walk today I thought why not just Google adult child podcasts and there you were and what a kindred you are.

I love the profanity sincerity open heart all of it. I think you're fucking awesome.

And today's the one I listened to the under earners just really struck a quarter of me.

I got a worldwide publishing deal with Hayhouse and I still feel like a worthless piece of shit.

So yeah, I've still got a long way to go in my recovery.

But I know from now on whenever I want my dog I'm going to be listening to the book that she's referring to.

It's called the cancer misfit a guide to navigating life after treatment.

But in all honesty, it could really be retitled to the adult child misfit a guide to navigating life after realizing your in adult child.

But this book is about surviving and thriving and rediscovering oneself post cancer and Sasuke talks about her realization.
