In this episode of Ain’t That Something?, I’m sitting down with Dr. Ashley Rodriguez — psychologist and creator of the Roots to Resilience healing toolkit — for a real conversation about generational healing, self-trust, and what it means to break cycles as women of color.

We’re talking about:

    •    How generational trauma shows up in everyday life

    •    The messages we were raised with that still shape how we move

    •    Setting boundaries and unlearning guilt

    •    Tools for emotional regulation when healing feels heavy

    •    And how to start trusting yourself again, even if you’re still figuring it out

Whether you’re deep in your healing journey or just starting to question the patterns you’ve inherited, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone — and that real change starts with awareness, compassion, and small steps forward.
