Welcome back to Thriving Through Chaos: Living Intentionally and Resiliently! In this episode, host Dyanna takes a deep dive into the psychology of attraction—how we’re wired to connect, how Black love has been shaped by history, and why reality TV often distorts our expectations of romance.

In honor of Black History Month, Dyanna starts with a powerful discussion on Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS), exploring how generational trauma continues to influence the way Black individuals navigate love, trust, and relationships.

Then, we break down the science of attraction, uncovering the subconscious patterns that shape our love lives, the brain chemicals behind attraction, and why we often fall for familiar relationship dynamics—even when they aren’t healthy.

Next, we explore attachment styles—Secure, Anxious, Avoidant, and Disorganized—and how they shape the way we experience love, intimacy, and conflict. Dyanna offers insights on how early childhood experiences impact our romantic relationships and provides resources for identifying your own attachment style.

Finally, we examine the impact of reality TV on love and relationships, questioning whether shows like Love Is Blind and The Bachelor set unrealistic expectations for romance. Are we being conditioned to expect dramatic, whirlwind love stories instead of secure and intentional connections?

Key Topics in This Episode:

- Black History Fact: The Psychology of Black Love & PTSS
- The Science of Attraction: Why We’re Drawn to Certain People
- Attachment Styles: How Childhood Shapes Our Romantic Connections
- Reality TV vs. Real Love: The False Narratives We’re Sold

Listen now for an insightful conversation on breaking unhealthy patterns, building intentional relationships, and redefining love on your own terms.

In this powerful episode of Thriving Through Chaos: Living Intentionally and Resiliently, we dive deep into the concept of generational curses—those repetitive patterns, behaviors, and beliefs passed down through families, often without conscious awareness. Since today is Groundhog Day, a day symbolizing cycles and repetition, it’s the perfect time to explore the loops we find ourselves trapped in—the ones we inherited, the ones we struggle with, and most importantly, the ones we have the power to break.

Are you reliving the same toxic relationship dynamics? Facing financial struggles that seem unavoidable? Carrying the weight of family secrets? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’ll uncover how generational curses manifest, from dishonesty and gossip to emotional neglect and financial instability. We’ll also explore love languages, the psychology behind these deeply ingrained patterns, and most importantly, actionable steps to break free and create a healthier legacy for ourselves and future generations.

It’s time to stop reliving the past and start rewriting the future. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that will challenge you to reflect, heal, and break the cycle—once and for all.

Hey, hey, beautiful souls! In this special Black History Month episode of *Thriving Through Chaos: Living Intentionally & Resiliently*, we’re diving deep into the roots of Black psychology, the impact of racial trauma, and the power of ancestral healing.

Join me as we honor Dr. Francis Cecil Sumner, the first Black psychologist in America, and explore how his groundbreaking work paved the way for understanding the mental health struggles and resilience of Black communities. We’ll unpack racial trauma, its symptoms, and how it affects us generationally, while also highlighting the ways our ancestors have always found healing—through faith, music, storytelling, and community.

But it doesn’t stop there—science is finally catching up to what our ancestors already knew. We’ll discuss epigenetics and how trauma (and healing!) can be passed down through generations, as well as modern ways we can reclaim our mental well-being through therapy, spirituality, and self-care.
