Since all of us in TBM world are committed to identifying and unblocking our limiting beliefs, today’s episode is going to be a game-changer. Meet Dr. Mariel Buqué, a leading trauma psychologist and author of Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma. Dr. Mariel is here to help us understand how trauma is passed down through generations, how we experience collective trauma, and how we can start moving toward healing. In this episode, you’ll learn some tangible daily tools—breathing exercises, grounding practices, and more—to help move through stress and reduce the overwhelm we’re all faced with at different points throughout our lives. This transformative episode weaves cultural context, ancestral wisdom, and practical healing techniques into a powerful tapestry for personal growth and resilience. It’s an important reminder – we all have the ability to process and heal our wounds, to break intergenerational cycles, and to be the catalyst for change in our own lives.
