Breaking Cycles Isn’t Gentle or Harsh — Andreea's Story

In this episode, Andreea shares her journey of growing up with an abusive parent, leaving to build a life of her own, and later returning to heal, not just for herself, but for her child.

We talk about what it’s like to break cycles without swinging to extremes, how therapy helped her understand patterns instead of repeating them, and what it means to parent with intention when your own upbringing lacked emotional safety.

This is a conversation about survival, boundaries, healing, and choosing a different path, even when it’s hard.
