Episode Notes

Key Takeaways

Generational trauma often persists because families avoid talking about pain—but healing begins with honesty.
“Toxic resilience” can look like high-functioning busyness while masking unprocessed trauma.
Self-care is more than bubble baths—it’s about regulation, awareness, and creating space to feel.
Breaking generational cycles doesn’t mean being perfect—it means being real.
Children don’t need protected perfection; they need modeled vulnerability and tools for emotional health.
