Growing Up With Insanity & Choosing Serenity As Your "New Normal" Reality


Adult Children In Recovery is a podcast that serves to empower, inspire & provide practical solutions to anyone struggling as a result of complex and repeated early childhood stress, abuse & trauma.

As a survivor of emotionally unhealthy, unsafe & wounded adult child parenting, I know how important it is to heal and recover with compassionate self-care practices from childhood trauma. I'm here to remind you none of the stress, confusion, abuse or neglect was your fault but were passed onto you.

Each episode features inspiring stories & guidance from speakers, therapists, coaches, teachers & authors who have not only survived childhood trauma, but who share powerful yet gentle tools & techniques to help you learn how to navigate your feelings, trust your intuition & become your own loving parent.

    Greetings Adult-Child,

    Welcome to another Adult-Child in recovery podcast with my special guest Meghan Margherio.

    In this episode, we joined hearts & spoke about Meghan’s new memoir called “Everwoven” where she openly & candidly spoke about her own chaotic childhood trauma and shared how despite the abuse & neglect she experienced in the past, she has found ways to find her joy and move beyond survival into hope, strength & recovery.

    MEGAN MARGHERIO is a trauma-informed embodiment coach and the founder of a growing movement to help survivors and sensitive souls reclaim presence, possibility and a sense of home within themselves. Her work lives at the intersection of lived experience and integrative healing, shaped by her own journey through childhood trauma, estrangement, complex PTSD, and the long, slow work of coming back to life.

    Through writing, somatic practices and soul-centered work, Margherio creates spaces where truth can be spoken, grief can be held, and joy can return — gently and on your own terms. She leads retreats, group programs and healing experiences that honor both the tenderness and resilience of trauma survivors, helping them reconnect to their stories, their bodies and their belonging. Find out more about Margherio & order your copy of her inspiring book on her website https://meghanmargherio.com

  • From Survival to Safety ft. Phyllis Leavitt | Childhood Trauma, America & the Path to Healing
    Jun 22 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if the chaos we see in the world is simply the unhealed wounds of childhood — scaled up?

    In this soul-stirring episode of the Adult-Children in Recovery Podcast, Vandana Atara Noorah welcomes back Phyllis Leavitt — author of America in Therapy, speaker, and psychotherapist — for a conversation that moves from the deeply personal to the profoundly global.

    Phyllis reveals:

    • How writing saved her during a chaotic, dysfunctional childhood — and how it became her path to healing
    • Why she believes we are at a precarious moment in human history that demands big ideas and bigger solutions
    • The little-known psychological secrets behind how we arrived at this cultural precipice — and what keeps us here
    • Why the same therapeutic tools that heal individuals and families can heal communities, corporations, governments, and nations
    • How universal loving kindness and compassion in community — free from shame and self-blame — is not naïve idealism but practical healing strategy

    Vandana also shares how her Inner Child Reiki Practitioner Program supports adult-children in doing this exact work — building safety from the inside out.

    This is an episode about HOPE — real, grounded, hard-won hope.

    If you grew up feeling unseen, emotionally unsafe, blamed, abandoned, or trapped in survival mode, this powerful inner child healing transmission is designed to help you reconnect with the wounded parts of yourself that still long to feel safe, loved, nurtured, and accepted.

    In this deeply restorative guided healing experience, Vandana Atara Noorah leads listeners through a multidimensional inner child meditation focused on nervous system healing, emotional release, trauma recovery, self-love, re-parenting, ancestral healing, chakra balancing, and energetic restoration.

    This episode explores:
    • Inner child healing for survivors of childhood trauma
    • Releasing shame, guilt, fear, grief, and emotional overwhelm
    • Nervous system regulation and emotional safety
    • Healing abandonment wounds and people-pleasing patterns
    • Reclaiming self-worth, voice, boundaries, and personal power
    • Trauma-informed guided meditation and energy healing
    • Ancestral trauma release and generational healing
    • Chakra cleansing and emotional detoxification
    • Re-parenting your inner child with compassion and love
    • Spiritual healing, soul retrieval, and emotional transformation

    This healing transmission supports empaths, cycle breakers, highly sensitive souls, survivors of narcissistic parenting, and anyone seeking deeper emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and spiritual awakening.

    You are not broken. Your inner child deserves love, safety, tenderness, and healing.
