Toxic Patterns Ruining Your Life and Family (And How to Break Them)

46 minutes

In today’s solo episode, I dive deep into something that's been heavy on my heart lately — especially as a new mama — and that is breaking generational curses.

I'm talking about how to identify the patterns in your family that may be unhealthy, unbiblical, or downright toxic — and how to STOP them from continuing in your life, your marriage, and your kids' lives.

I share tons of biblical encouragement, examples from my own journey, what I’ve learned through therapy and inner healing, and how you can partner with God to be the change in your family tree. Even if this episode feels a little heavy, I promise — it’s packed with hope, grace, and practical steps you can take TODAY. 🙏🏼
