In this episode of Behind Beautiful Things, we sit down with Louise as she shares her deeply personal story rooted in the aftermath of World War II. Louise’s parents fled the horrors of war-torn Europe, and the trauma they carried would echo across generations.

We explore how that inherited trauma shaped Louise’s childhood, her mental health, and her complex relationship with her family. Through honest reflection and emotional insight, Louise speaks to the resilience it takes to confront generational pain and begin the journey of healing.

This episode is a moving exploration of trauma, identity, family dynamics, and the strength it takes to rewrite your own story.

Listen now to hear Louise’s courageous path toward understanding, healing, and hope.

Please note: This episode contains descriptions of child abuse, suggested sexual abuse, and descriptions of the Holocaust. Please take care while listening.
