 In Episode 8 of SUITT & BOOT, host Tshai Wright speaks with Jessica Carisse, founder of Carisse Consulting and host of Connecting the Dots, about childhood trauma, the father wound, and how survival often shows up as success. 

This episode explores: 

  • Conditional love and emotional absence
  • High-functioning survival roles
  • Parentification and emotional numbness
  • Trauma responses mistaken for personality traits


Using the Scorphenegle Framework—Scorpion, Eagle, and Phoenix—we unpack how awareness leads to healing, and how nervous system safety is the foundation for real transformation.

The episode closes with a Scorphenegle Reflection, connecting trauma to meaning and offering language for those who have built successful lives but still don’t feel at home in themselves.

SUITT & BOOT is about standing up in truth, breaking out of trauma, and turning pain into purpose.
