Were You an Orphan WITH Parents?

Teal Swan
About this episode

If you’ve ever struggled to understand why you feel the way you do, THIS may be the missing link:

In this video, Teal exposes the gaslighting that hides this reality, breaks down the unmet needs that shape a child's development, and explores how these missing pieces impact adulthood.
