Overcoming Generational Trauma for Optimal Health and Wellness with Judy Wilkins-Smith
Text us a comment or question!We are all born to be remarkable. And yet every one of us is shaped by patterns handed down by our ancestors—invisible multi-generational patterns of decisions, thoughts, feelings, actions, inactions, reactions, and choices that limit our responses to events and influence every decision of our lives, unconsciously running the show. Today we’re going to challenge the idea that we are helpless victims based on our histories, and learn ways to be pattern-breakers, to make new choices and rewire our brains, allowing us to transform and rise up, and to step into the very best version of ourselves. My guest today is Judy Wilkins-Smith. Judy is a highly regarded organizational, individual, and family patterns expert. A systemic executive coach, trainer, facilitator, thought partner, and leadership conference and motivational speaker, she has 18 years of expertise in assisting high-performance individuals, Fortune 500 executives, and legacy families to end limiting cycles and reframe challenges into lasting breakthroughs and peak performance. She is the author of Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint: A Powerful Guide to Transformation Through Disentangling Multigenerational Patterns. Join us in this riveting conversation as we unearth the complex layers of generational trauma and understand how decoding our Emotional DNA can help us live a healthier, more fulfilling life.
