S1:E21: The Curse of Generational Trauma
In this episode, I talk about the curse of generational trauma and how I was conditioned to suppress my emotion because of the unprocessed trauma my parents endured.

They were parenting from trauma and without the mental health resources to help them adjust back to normalcy. Getting to a place of compassion, acceptance, and understanding why our parents are the way they are, will free us from the burdens of our past selves.
