Revisiting Breaking the Cycle of Generational Trauma with Billie Lourd

The holidays are upon us, and that can mean complicated family dynamics. So, we're revisiting our conversation with Billie Lourd. She has been grieving the loss of her mother, Carrie Fisher, and grandmother, Debbie Reynolds, since 2016. She shares what it was like growing up in the public eye in a family dealing with addiction and mental illness. This episode’s practice is about all the things you inherit from your family (good and bad) and the patterns you want to break.
