Description

Hosted by author and essayist Cari Fund, Surviving Roots explores identity, family dynamics, people-pleasing, estrangement, motherhood, resilience, and what it truly takes to reclaim a life that feels like your own. Each episode features thoughtful conversations with psychologists, bestselling authors, researchers, speakers, creators, and people with extraordinary lived experiences. Together, they examine the psychology behind the roles we inherit, the stories we tell ourselves, and the courage it takes to rewrite them. Whether you're navigating complicated family relationships, questioning old patterns, or simply looking for conversations that are honest, intelligent, and deeply human, Surviving Roots offers a place to feel seen, challenged, and reminded that your story is still being written. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube.
