What if the shame, hurt, insecurity, fear, and trauma you carry today are connected to experiences you never fully addressed?

In this episode of the Don't Screw Up Your Kids Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Paula Burton Jackson, also known as Coach PBJ, to discuss healing, self-awareness, faith, grief, relationships, and the emotional patterns that often shape our lives without us even realizing it.

After the unexpected loss of her first husband, Coach PBJ found herself carrying grief, anger, fear, and emotional wounds that she had never fully processed. That journey eventually led her to develop a framework that helps people identify the hidden beliefs, unresolved pain, and behavioral patterns that influence the way they show up in their relationships, careers, families, and communities.

During our conversation, we discuss:

• Childhood experiences and their long-term impact
• Emotional triggers and where they come from
• Grief, loss, and healing
• Faith and personal transformation
• Relationships and communication
• Extending grace to ourselves and others
• Breaking unhealthy cycles
• Self-awareness and personal growth
• The connection between healing ourselves and raising healthier children

One of the most powerful insights from this conversation is that many of us spend years reacting to situations without realizing that the reaction is often connected to something much deeper. Once we understand the source, we can begin to heal instead of simply repeating the pattern.

Coach PBJ also shares how she helps women identify the shadows that may be influencing their lives, recognize the seeds of those patterns, and develop healthier ways of responding to life's challenges.

At 26 years old, Shari Paskel received a lupus diagnosis that changed everything.

Doctors told her she would likely need medication for the rest of her life. They also warned her that having children could create serious health complications. Instead of accepting that as her only option, Shari made a different choice.

She chose healing.

In this episode of the Don't Screw Up Your Kids Podcast, Shari shares her journey from lupus diagnosis to remission, the lifestyle changes she made, the role faith played in her healing, and how she learned to prioritize her health, finances, and family.

We discuss:

• Being diagnosed with lupus at age 26
• Why she chose a different path than the one doctors recommended
• The connection between stress and physical health
• Nutrition, inflammation, fasting, and wellness
• Motherhood after being told pregnancy could be dangerous
• Divorce, healing, and resilience
• Parenting lessons learned from childhood
• Financial literacy and generational wealth
• Why health and finances go hand in hand
• Raising children who don't need to recover from their childhood

Shari also shares details about her upcoming platform, The Midlife Edit, and The Wellth Studio, a community designed to help women improve their health, finances, nutrition, and overall well-being through practical tools, education, and AI-powered support.
