Caroline Beidler shares her deeply personal journey through trauma recovery and explains how unhealed wounds can travel through generations. She offers practical tools for becoming a "cycle breaker" and healing family patterns before they affect our children.

• One in five women have experienced sexual assault in childhood, and 60% of people have experienced at least one adverse childhood experience
• Trauma can be passed down through generations both behaviorally and potentially at a genetic level
• Our individual trauma responses differ based on our unique backgrounds and prior experiences
• Small, consistent actions like 15-minute morning devotionals can make significant differences in our healing
• Movement, connecting with others, and establishing healthy boundaries are essential aspects of trauma recovery
• Self-worth is foundational to healing—recognizing we are worthy of kindness, respect, and healthy relationships
• Bringing struggles "into the light" through trusted relationships helps break cycles of isolation and shame
