Facing the Past with Courage: A Conversation with Steven Eichenblatt

Today’s conversation touches tender places.

It’s a story about childhood, loss, memory, and the long, sometimes quiet work of healing. It is a reminder that the past does not stay in the past simply because we grew up — it lives in our bodies, our relationships, our longing to be seen, and our search for safety.

My guest today, Steven Eichenblatt, grew up navigating the ache of abandonment, silence, and truth withheld — and years later, he began to uncover the story beneath the story.

This is not a conversation about blame.

It is a conversation about understanding.

It is about what can happen when we finally turn toward the places we tried to outrun — and find compassion waiting there.

If at any point you need to pause, breathe, or step away, please do.

Your heart is welcome here, and your pace is honored.
