In this video, I share an overview of Adult Children of Alcoholics at Home, at Work, and in Love — a powerful and eye-opening book that explains how growing up in an alcoholic or chaotic home can silently shape our emotions, relationships, careers, and sense of self.

This review breaks the book down into simple, relatable insights to help you understand:

Why Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACAs) often struggle with trust, intimacy, or expressing needs

The hidden patterns that show up in romantic relationships

How childhood survival skills turn into adult obstacles

Why ACAs may excel at work while struggling emotionally

How fear, over-responsibility, and self-doubt become part of daily life

Practical steps for building healthier relationships and a stronger sense of identity

If you’ve ever felt different from others, struggled with boundaries, or found yourself repeating painful relationship patterns, this book offers clarity and validation.
You are not imagining it — the way you were raised truly shaped your emotional world, and understanding it is the first step toward healing it.

This video is for anyone who has experienced:
✔ Overthinking or fear of conflict
✔ A need to please or “fix” others
✔ Difficulty trusting partners
✔ Feeling responsible for everyone’s emotions
✔ Strong success at work but emotional struggles in private
✔ A constant sense of guilt, shame, or anxiety

Awareness is the beginning of freedom.
This book shines a compassionate light on the ACA experience — and this video walks you through its most meaningful lessons.
