Episode notes

I grew up in a very abusive home. My mom was filled with rage and anger. I got the brunt of that physically and verbally. And I'd never wanted my children to feel like that anymore. When you love yourself, when you are choosing to do differently, look what can happen. Yeah. Our children are our mirrors. It's not just the world as it is. Right? It's something that I can have agency in. Mm. Can we talk about that healing of lineage because your personal story is really remarkable?"

1. Alex’s four most effective healing techniques that you can start today.

2. How it affects us to grow up never seeing our mothers have joy.

3. Why – if you think you don’t have any self-soothing strategies – you actually just have unhealthy self-soothing strategies.

4. Childhood wounds that surface in adulthood, and the path to intergenerational healing.

5. Where to begin when you never receive the apology and closure you deserve.
