In this deeply personal and luminous conversation, Ce interviews Arleen Tyndall who opens her heart about the journey from performing perfection to embracing her humanness. From the outside, Arleen’s life looked polished and put-together, but underneath, she was carrying the weight of generations of pain, silence, and emotional disconnection.

Her awakening began in Bali, where she went to explore her ancestry and unexpectedly uncovered the buried stories of generational trauma that had been living inside her body and her family line. What she found there changed everything.

Arleen shares how confronting her lineage of generational violence and emotional repression allowed her to return home to Vancouver, BC, no longer repeating old patterns, but instead, living in full awareness and self-compassion. Through this transformation, she found peace not in perfection, but in permission—to be fully, messily human.
