Breaking Generational Cycles: The Biology of Legacy


Listen Later

Legacy isn’t just what we teach our children.

It’s what our bodies, nervous systems, and beliefs silently pass on—generation after generation.

In this episode, we explore legacy through a biological and relational lens, uncovering how trauma, safety, regulation, and connection shape what gets carried forward—and how awareness gives us the power to change it.

This is an invitation to become the cycle-breaker in your family line.
