Tami Atman

Tami Atman is the founder of The Stuck Stops Here. A website, podcast, memoir and lyrics devoted to healing from parental emotional abuse and neglect. After years of suffering from high functioning anxiety and depression, she hit rock bottom in 2014 with debilitating suicidal thoughts, at which point she decided to “change instead of die.” Tami dug deep into family history and realized the cycle of shame, rejection, blame, bitterness and rage goes back over 100 years and decided after a very dark period in her life that “this cycle had to end with me”. The healing journey involved grieving for the childhood she never had while mourning the loss of people who are still alive. Her soul goal is to be the resource for others she needed during those painful times and help others disentangle themselves from well-entrenched poisonous familial chains of denial, manipulation, anger and guilt. Her podcast, ebook and lyrics are dedicated to all the wounded souls who are tired of seeking (and never finding) happiness and fulfillment outside themselves. “I want to be catalyst for those experiencing a spiritual awakening and seeking a new perspective by incentivizing AHA moments and enabling discovery of your true self.”
