On this episode of the Life’s Deceit Podcast, Jen sits down with Michael Watson for a raw, vulnerable, and deeply human conversation about what happens when childhood places adult responsibilities on shoulders that were never ready to carry them.

Michael opens up about growing up in emotional instability, stepping into the role of caretaker far too early, and how those survival patterns followed him into adulthood, shaping his relationships, identity, and understanding of love. His story reveals the quiet burden of being “the strong one” and the hidden cost of abandoning yourself just to keep the peace.

Together, Jen and Michael explore how self-awareness, emotional honesty, and practical healing work can help us:
* Recognize the roles we were conditioned to play
* Break patterns we never chose but learned to survive
* Rebuild a sense of self after years of living in survival mode
* Release emotional burdens we were never meant to hold

Michael shares powerful insight into what it means to stop running from your story, face the truth with compassion, and begin the long but liberating journey of reclaiming your voice, your needs, and your inner safety.

If you’ve ever felt responsible for everyone but yourself, or if you’ve carried unspoken childhood wounds into adulthood, this episode is your reminder that healing is possible, deserved, and already within reach.

Share this episode with someone who needs to know they’re not alone. Healing doesn’t require perfection — only the courage to begin.
