Hosted by Eirene, Born Tired is a storytelling podcast for those who grew up in survival mode and are now ready to heal out loud. Each episode explores the quiet grief that comes after walking away from chaos — the distance from family, the weight of generational patterns, and the peace that comes from finally choosing yourself. As a truth-teller, former family scapegoat, and lifelong cycle breaker, Eirene shares deeply personal stories about identity, C-PTSD, estrangement, being the “black sheep,” and learning to live in truth after years of being silenced. Through honest reflections and lived experience, Born Tired offers a space for those raised in dysfunction to rest, rebuild, and remember that healing isn’t a destination — it’s a homecoming.

Born Tired: Where Survival Meets Healing

Finding My Voice, Inviting You to Find Yours

Episode 1: Finding My Voice, Inviting You to Find Yours

Born Tired: Where Survival Meets Healing begins here.

In this first episode, I share my personal story of growing up in survival mode — shaped by domestic violence, childhood trauma, emotional neglect, and silence. I also discuss how learning to speak became part of my healing.

I reflect on what it means to live with complex PTSD, how trauma shapes the nervous system, and the invisible roles children take on inside unsafe homes: the protector, the translator, the scapegoat.

This episode explores:

Childhood trauma and domestic violence
Survival mode and its impact on the nervous system
Growing up as the eldest daughter in an immigrant household
The long-term effects of emotional neglect and abuse
Why breaking silence is a necessary part of healing

Born Tired is a podcast for those who carried too much, too early.

For those learning how to rest inside their truth.

For those finding their voice, maybe for the first time.
