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.

What if the pain you carry didn’t start with you? What if the anxiety, shame, or silence woven into your life is part of a story much older than your own? 

In this episode, we explore generational trauma through a spiritual lens — diving into how cultures and religions across the world have long understood, honored, and healed ancestral wounds. From African spiritual systems and Native American traditions to Taoism, Buddhism, and even mainstream religions like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, we uncover the universal truth: that healing is not just personal — it’s ancestral. 

We also touch on New Age spirituality and energy work as modern echoes of ancient wisdom, offering tools for those who walk between traditions or forge their own path. 

This episode is for the cycle breakers. The feelers. The seekers. The ones willing to turn toward the past — not to relive it, but to release it. 

🎧 Topics Include: 

• What generational trauma really is (and how it manifests)
• How spiritual traditions define and heal ancestral pain
• Why “New Age” isn’t new at all
• The sacred role of the cycle breaker

 What if the anxiety you feel, the way you shut down in conflict, or even your health struggles… didn’t start with you? 

In this episode, we dive into the science of epigenetics—how our lived experiences and the trauma of generations before us can shape which genes get turned on or off. But more importantly, we explore how healing can shift that pattern forward. 

We break down concepts like gene expression, methylation, and histone modification in simple terms, and explore key studies from researchers like Dr. Moshe Szyf, Dr. Michael Meaney, Dr. Rachel Yehuda, and Brian Dias. We also explore what it means to feel “not aligned,” how to tell what’s truly you versus what’s inherited, and how healing practices like nervous system regulation, nutrition, therapy, and safe relationships can actually reshape your biological story. 

This episode isn’t about being perfect—it’s about reclaiming your peace, your body, and your legacy.

In this opening episode of the Generational Healing series, we explore how trauma is passed down — not just through DNA, but through the emotional patterns, belief systems, and survival strategies we inherit from our families. Grounded in psychological frameworks, this conversation dives into six key concepts: attachment theory, modeling and mirroring, emotional inheritance, core beliefs, coping mechanisms, and emotional suppression. 

Drawing insights from experts like Dr. Gabor Maté (The Wisdom of Trauma) and Mark Wolynn (It Didn’t Start With You), we uncover how trauma lives on when it’s not fully processed — and how awareness, presence, and compassion become the tools to break these unconscious cycles. 

This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about recognizing the emotional blueprints we’ve been handed — and reclaiming the power to rewrite them.

In this raw and unscripted first episode, I sit down with no plan — just a mic and a moment of honesty. I talk about the fear of using my voice, the doubts that creep in before starting something new, and what it means to begin anyway. This episode isn’t polished, and that’s the point. It’s real. It’s messy. It’s the start of something I’ve been holding inside for a long time.

If you’ve ever felt like you had more to say but kept it in, this one’s for you.
