Born Tired: Where Survival Meets Healing – Details, episodes & analysis

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.
