I Wasn't Left. I Was Launched. Reframing Abandonment
Episode 58
Monday, 19 May, 2025
What happens when you start unpacking the beliefs your family handed you — along with the vodka? In this raw episode, I talk about my complicated relationship with drinking, my abandonment as a baby, and the emotional blueprint passed down through my Jewish and Irish roots. I explore the wild question: if I had different parents, would I just be fucked up in a different way? This is about generational trauma, breaking cycles, and reminding ourselves — just because it runs in the family doesn’t mean it needs to keep running you. I was abandoned as a baby. My dad’s family didn’t seem too bothered. Add in a mix of Irish chaos and Jewish guilt, and you’ve got a cocktail of generational dysfunction. In this episode, I get into my relationship with drinking, my family’s history, and the deep-seated limiting beliefs I inherited — ones I’ve spent years trying to unlearn. I’ve wondered what I’d be like if I were raised by alternate parents in some other universe. Would I still be fucked up? Probably. But maybe in a cuter outfit. I truly believe I’m on the best timeline now… but it doesn’t erase how formative our early years are. So let’s talk about it. And maybe — just maybe — stop beating the shit out of our kids, emotionally or otherwise.
