Are you feeling sick, getting migraines, or experiencing chronic fatigue without knowing why? Your body might be telling you that you're trapped in toxic patterns from unhealed childhood trauma - but there's a proven path to break free and create the love and life you deserve.

In this powerful episode, Rebecca Greene interviews Riana Milne, a licensed mental health counselor and relationship coach who has identified the 10 most common childhood traumas that create toxic patterns in adult relationships.

Riana shares her groundbreaking research on how unhealed childhood trauma leads to love trauma, and explains her holistic mind-body approach to healing that has helped thousands break generational cycles of dysfunction. From recognizing toxic patterns through physical symptoms to learning the mindset tools for success, this episode provides a comprehensive roadmap for transformation.

Riana also shares inspiring stories of her own daughters' successes, demonstrating how positive parenting and mindset work can create extraordinary outcomes.

5 Key Takeaways

➤ Your Body Tells the Truth About Toxic Relationships - Physical symptoms like migraines, stomach issues, chronic fatigue, and sleep problems are often your body's way of responding to constant abuse and trauma in relationships.

➤ The Top 10 Childhood Traumas Create Predictable Adult Patterns - From addiction issues in parents to abandonment, verbal abuse, and sibling dynamics, these traumas show up as jealousy, people-pleasing, impulsivity, or inability to apologize in adult relationships.

➤ Healing Must Address Both Childhood and Love Trauma - Research proves that unhealed childhood trauma causes love trauma as you age, requiring a holistic mind-body approach rather than just medication to treat symptoms.

➤ Consistency Over Time Equals Trust - Whether rebuilding relationships with your children or partner, the mathematical equation for healing is showing up consistently with new behaviors over time to rebuild trust.
➤ Mindset Work Creates Extraordinary Success - Teaching children early that they can achieve whatever they dream, combined with positive verbal messaging and spiritual grounding, creates confident adults who can manifest their goals.

"You can't change what you don't know, acknowledge or understand. If I could understand it for me, I could help teach my clients."

What if the place that should be your sanctuary—your home—could be transformed from a place of fear into a space where respect isn't just hoped for, but required by law?

Today on Whinypaluza, host Rebecca Greene sits down with Sabrina Osso, founder and CEO of Osso Safe, a revolutionary company transforming the way we approach safety in our homes, schools, and workplaces. As a TEDx speaker, published author, and passionate advocate, Sabrina is transforming her pain into a force for good, empowering families everywhere. A proud member of the National Association of Realtors and the Women's Federation for World Peace, she was recently honored with the HerStory Award in March 2024. Through her innovative Osso Safe certification program, children's book "Home Safe Home for You and Me," and the Osso Safe Kids Video, Sabrina is reimagining what "home sweet home" can and should be—making respect a required standard in all residences.

Key Takeaways

➤ Respect as a Required Standard: Osso Safe is working to make respect a mandatory requirement in all residential properties through their certification program, which includes policies, seminars, apps, and assigned therapists.

➤ The Difference Between Abuse and Discipline: Abuse instills fear while discipline instills education—this crucial distinction helps parents understand how to guide children from a place of respect rather than control.

➤ Children Need Voice and Choice: Rather than waiting until age 18, children should be empowered to speak up about unsafe situations and know they have trusted adults who will listen and protect them.

➤ Documentation is Crucial: For anyone experiencing abuse, documenting incidents helps combat gaslighting and creates a clear pattern that can be used for protection and legal purposes.

➤ Healing Happens Both Ways: When you heal yourself and then help others heal, it creates a powerful two-way street of transformation and empowerment.

Powerful Quotes from Sabrina
"Abuse instills fear, and discipline instills education. When you discipline your kids, it should come from a place of education, not fear and manipulation and domination and control."
"We trust our children at Osso Safe. We are giving them voice and choice... You kids know who makes you feel safe and free and respected and good, so we're trusting them."

How to Connect with Sabrina Osso

Are you waking up anxious and don't know why? What if anxiety isn't your enemy but actually an old friend trying to protect you?

In this deeply personal episode, Rebecca and her daughter Ella share their individual yet connected experiences with anxiety, offering practical strategies for managing those overwhelming moments. The episode beautifully weaves together a mother-daughter perspective on anxiety management, featuring insights from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's recovery strategies, the science behind morning cortisol levels, and the power of positive self-talk.

Rebecca opens up about preparing to drop her son, Max, off at college, while Ella shares wisdom from her "Teenage Tuesday" column about conquering anxiety through learning opportunities.

5 Key Takeaways

➤ Morning anxiety is normal and biological - Your cortisol levels are naturally highest when you wake up, which explains why you might feel anxious first thing in the morning

➤ Welcome anxiety instead of resisting it - When you fight or resist feelings, they get bigger. Treat anxiety like an old friend and get curious about why it's showing up rather than pushing it away

➤ Use proof from your past to reassure yourself - Look back at previous successes and challenges you've overcome to remind yourself that you're capable of handling difficult situations

➤ Everything is a learning opportunity - No matter the outcome of anxiety-provoking situations, you always learn something valuable, making every experience a gift for growth

➤ Motion beats meditation for managing emotions - Physical movement, especially walking outside, can be more effective than sitting still when you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed

Notable Quotes from the Episode
"I didn't fight it. I did not resist. I didn't fight it. I just said, Oh, hello, you're an old friend showing up. I know who you are. You've been coming around since I was tiny." - Rebecca Greene
"Everything is a chance to learn no matter what the outcome is. You always learn something from it. So everything is a gift, even if it makes you anxious." - Ella Greene
