In this episode of the Luminous Life Podcast, Annie welcomes Dr. Miriam Sekandi, a seasoned educator, keynote speaker, and international best-selling author of It Takes a Village to Wreck a Child.

Born and raised in Uganda, Dr. Miriam grew up navigating the push and pull of traditional culture and Christian values. Later, after immigrating to Canada and raising four children across continents, she realized she was repeating the same trauma-shaped patterns she had worked so hard to escape. That moment became the catalyst for her life’s mission: helping parents and leaders stop passing emotional pain down to each generation.

Dr. Miriam’s work in emotional fluency and relational intelligence equips families to end cycles of generational trauma. In this heartfelt conversation, she shares how we can recognize inherited patterns, hold space for healing, and create a legacy of resilience instead of pain.

Key Takeaways

• What emotional fluency is and why it matters for parents and leaders
• How generational trauma hides in everyday patterns
• The cultural and personal journey that shaped Dr. Miriam’s mission
• Practical ways to start breaking cycles of pain in your own life

If you’re ready to stop carrying the weight of someone else’s wounds and begin creating a different future, this episode is for you.
