Have you ever felt like you were playing a part in your family—one you never chose?  
👉 The Hero.  
👉 The Scapegoat.  
👉 The Lost Child.  
👉 The Mascot.  
👉 The Caretaker.  
👉 Or the Switcher—always shifting, always adapting?


This episode dives deep into the 6 hidden roles children take on in dysfunctional families—and how they shape your adult identity, relationships, boundaries, burnout, and even your sense of self.


Whether you grew up with narcissistic parents, emotional neglect, alcoholism, or constant chaos—this video is a compassionate, no-fluff breakdown of the survival roles you learned to play just to stay safe.


🕊️ Because you’re not broken.  
You’re just the canary.
