Andrea Ashley is the host and producer of the Adult Child Podcast, the leading and fastest-growing podcast on the impact of growing up in an alcoholic and dysfunctional family. A CPA by profession, Andrea worked in accounting and financial firms before launching her podcast. She has worked in CFGI’s Business and Talent Acquisition team and was a senior consultant for Armanino, as well as an audit senior associate at KPMG US. At the Adult Child Podcast, Andrea and her guests have raw and vulnerable conversations about codependency, complex trauma, alcoholism and addiction, generational trauma, and toxic shame.

Andrea joins me today to discuss connection, disconnection, dysfunction, and what it means to be an adult child. She describes her “Tale of Two Brains” and reveals what the Broken Picker Syndrome is. She shares her experience with severe separation anxiety as a child and explains how she realized that unresolved childhood trauma impacts how she maintains relationships. Andrea also highlights how therapy has helped her work through trauma and enumerates the characteristics that adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families have in common.

“The journey into the soul to embrace our pain, live our authentic selves, and own our entire stories—especially the really messy shit—is a beautiful opportunity to heal and grow.” - Andrea Ashley

Meeting the Adult Child with Andrea Ashley

Up to this point, I kept my coaching practice somewhat separate from the Trauma Hiders Club podcast. My coaching practice has always been full, flourishing, and thriving with exponential growth, but, ever since my mom died, I’ve been looking at it. What struck me was the myriad of ways I had kept so many people out while offering exclusive, high-ticket engagement, VIP experiences, and made-up rules about who gets in and who stays out

In this episode, I explore combining my world as the host of the Trauma Hiders Club podcast and as an executive leadership coach. I discuss how and why I’m not for most people and describe the kind of people who will—and who will probably not—connect well with me.

“If you hear something that opens you up to seeing something for yourself, and you want to explore that in reflective, safe, trauma-informed conversations, know that I’m here.” - Karen Goldfinger Baker

This week on the Trauma Hiders Club Podcast:
Podcasting as a grieving host
How I separated my world as a podcast host from my world as an executive coach
My “Fuck off” and “Fuck, yes!” kinds of people
How to reach out to me

Two Worlds

I’m going to save you a lot of time and needless worry and let you in on a secret that nobody tells you until you become a member of the Dead Family Member Secret Society. The timesaving, worry-saving, and (possibly) money-saving secret is—grief is love. Grief is love’s confusion. Grieving is loving. Now, before you roll your eyes or boo at me, I want you to hear me out.

In this episode, I discuss grief and love. I explain why grief is love confused. I also describe how I’m learning to love my mother in her absence and underscore how grief is learning to love in a new way.

“Grief is learning to love in a new way. I’m learning to love my mother while she isn’t here; I’m grieving her presence, loving her absence.” - Karen Goldfinger Baker

Grief and Love

I have chosen peace and quiet. I lived in two worlds for most of my life. One was a world where I let others see what I wanted them to see, and the other was a world where I kept people from the broken, damaged, unlovable me. And, in those two different worlds, I wasn’t aware that I was struggling with quiet, stillness, and peace. While I craved stillness and peace, the dark quiet of the night had been a trigger for me. But, today, I welcome quiet.

In this episode, I share how I straddled between two different worlds for a vast majority of my life and discuss my struggles with peace and quiet. I also describe how I have chosen peace—despite my struggles with it—after the recent passing of my mother.

“The dark, quiet nighttime had been a trigger for me. Here’s the thing: since the passing of my mother, I have chosen quiet, I have chosen stillness, I have chosen peace.” - Karen Goldfinger Baker

“Quiet, stillness, and peace feel like the best, warmest, longest, most welcoming hugs that I craved then and welcome now. Nothingness is everything right now—peace is essential.” - Karen Goldfinger Baker

This week on the Trauma Hiders Club Podcast:
Living life in two different worlds

A Quiet Place

A friend recently thanked me for sharing my grief experience on Facebook and Instagram. She told me that she was terrified of the inevitable loss of her currently healthy, thriving mother. But what I learned about loss—and this is something I learned only after my mother’s funeral—is that there’s nothing to fear. And while I can’t say I’m on the other side of grief—because I’m doubtful there’s an “other side” to it—I understood something about grief that I could only learn by being on the other side of death and loss.

In this episode, I explore the fear of death and of losing someone important to us. I describe how I’m giving myself space to move through my days. I also discuss how grief changes us and the relationship between the fear of a loved one’s death and the illusion of control.

“I grieve for the ‘before’ me that got to hear her mother say her name. ‘After’ me relies on memory, aware of the presence of absence—moving through, pushing back, sometimes resisting, sometimes flowing.” - Karen Goldfinger Baker

Grief and the Fear of Loss

Let me tell you something: when I set out to do this project, I never imagined that this podcast—with the goal of normalizing conversations around trauma—would be fun or interesting after 25 episodes. And yet, here we are at the 100th episode of the Trauma Hiders Club podcast, continuing to grow and flourish. While I could boast about how the number of listeners or messages shared has grown over the last 100 episodes, I believe we, as a community, have experienced something more powerful than any podcast metric.

In this episode, I look back on what I experienced over the last 100 episodes of the Trauma Hiders Club podcast and what I’ve learned from you, the listeners. I also highlight the value of seeing ourselves, living our truth, and letting go.

“I could go on about the messages shared or the numbers of listeners, but none of that is as meaningful, as powerful, as transformational than any of us seeing ourselves, our truth, and being our truth.” - Karen Goldfinger Baker

This week on the Trauma Hiders Club Podcast:
My initial expectations for this podcast
100 episodes of the Trauma Hiders Club podcast—from my point of view
Meeting ourselves and our truths for the first time
Letting go of the self we created out of survival

Seeing Ourselves Over 100 Conversations

As a child, I learned from Sunday school that it was my responsibility to be a mother. To prepare for that game, I studied my own mother: a brilliant, independent, and courageous woman I admired. With her as my role model, I learned everything from connection and heartbreak to sending kids to overnight camp and the value of reading. As she trusted me to be a fierce warrior for her life and a compassionate advocate for the end of her life, I learned something about her that perhaps only I had the privilege of knowing.

In this episode, I recall the lessons I learned from (and about) my mom throughout my life with her. I share who Joyful Toby is and what Sunday mornings were like back in the early 70s. I describe the time I learned the Shema—the prayer for peace—and my responsibility to teach my children so they can teach theirs. I also reveal what I learned about my mother and highlight how grief and love can coexist.

“My mom, who many times over had been called tough, was actually a soft, kind, and complex human who could be vulnerable at the four-way intersection of motherhood, daughterhood, loyalty, and love.” - Karen Goldfinger Baker

This week on the Trauma Hiders Club Podcast:
Meet my mother
Going back home with Joyful Toby
Sunday mornings in the early 70s

A Eulogy for My Mother

Nancy Perlson is a trauma-informed licensed clinical social worker trained in somatically-based treatments and modalities. She is a long-time yoga practitioner and instructor certified through the Yoga Alliance as well as an active member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists. In 2010, Nancy created Connecting Through Yoga, a yoga bereavement support program. She has served on the Board of Directors for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and has volunteered for the Loving Outreach for Survivors of Suicide since 1999. For her advocacy and influence on the lives of individuals impacted by suicide and mental illness, Nancy received the Charles T. Ruby LOSS Award in 2017.

Nancy joins me today to share her experience with trauma and discuss the necessary steps for healing grief and loss. She describes the physiological nature of trauma and explains how the nervous system stores trauma and pain. She dissects how unresolved trauma manifests in behavior. Nancy also draws from the wisdom of Viktor Frankl and underscores the human power to adapt, change, and step into uncomfortable spaces.

What a Transformed Life Sounds Like with Joe Ryan

Earlier this year, I did inner child work with my extraordinary, hilarious, and generous coach, Nate Postlethwait. It was deep, dark, and confronting as much as it was uplifting, light, and joyful. And, at the end of our journey to meet the child within me, I wrote a letter to my younger self--that younger me, that fierce, 10-year-old warrior who took charge and fought.

In this episode, I share the letter I wrote to my inner childhood warrior.

“We are here in full view together, so strong, so loving, so loved. Show me what needs to be healed, even if there aren’t any words and only tears. You are here, I am here. You’re okay, I’m okay, and it’s okay.” - Karen Goldfinger Baker
