In the final chapter of our generational healing series, we zoom out to explore how trauma lives not only in families, but in the very systems that shape our lives. From colonization and slavery to war, religion, education, and law — this episode unpacks the societal structures that transmit generational pain.

We’ll examine cultural amnesia, structural violence, and the institutions that unknowingly carry trauma forward. But we’ll also highlight resistance, revival, and the power of collective memory. This is about naming the wound — and reclaiming our power to heal it.

Referenced experts include Dr. Joy DeGruy (Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome), Resmaa Menakem (My Grandmother’s Hands), and sociologist Jeffrey Alexander (Cultural Trauma theory).

This episode is a mirror — not just for your story, but for the world that shaped it.
