The Wounds That Wait | Healing What's Been Carried for Generations

Not all ancestral inheritance is neutral. Not all of it responds to gentle acknowledgment.

Some wounds run so deep that lighting a candle isn't enough. Some patterns are so entrenched that saying a name doesn't shift them. Some traumas have been passed down for so many generations that they've become invisible—woven into the fabric of who we think we are.

These are the wounds that wait. And they wait because no one before you had the safety, the resources, or the awareness to heal them.

But you do.

In this episode, we address the deep work of healing generational trauma:

✨ Hidden wounds: The inability to rest, the belief you have to earn existence, the conviction that joy will be followed by punishment—these aren't personality quirks. They're inherited survival strategies.

✨ These wounds don't heal accidentally. They're stored in the body, not just the mind. Your nervous system learned these patterns before you had language or choice.

✨ This is why you can know something is safe and still feel terrified. Why you can understand you're worthy and still feel like you have to prove it.

✨ Healing requires: (1) Willingness to feel, not just think about the wounds (2) Choosing differently—creating new patterns (3) Forgiveness—not of the harm, but understanding hurt people hurt people

The work means feeling what your ancestors couldn't feel. Moving what got frozen in them. Teaching your nervous system it's finally safe to let go.

When you heal these deep wounds, you don't just free yourself. You free everyone connected to you—backward through time and forward into the future.

The wounds that wait are not punishment. They're invitations—to complete what was started long ago, to become the one who finally breaks the cycle.
