I have an incredible episode for you today. My guest, Dr. Galit Atlas, is a psychoanalyst, clinical supervisor in private practice in New York City and a leader in the field of relational psychoanalysis. She has published three books for clinicians and numerous articles and book chapters, including Her New York Times publication “A Tale of Two Twins” which was the winner of a 2016 Gradiva Award. Her new book Emotional Inheritance is now being translated into 17 languages.In this episode, We talk about Emotional inheritance, which is the name Galit gives to the trauma passed down to us from previous generations. As you might know, I am fascinated, passionate and really curious about generational work, specifically how pain gets passed down the generations.And while it can be a hard topic, for sure, I think it's ultimately really freeing to see ourselves as part of a way bigger picture of our lineage. It's just not talked about enough with parents and mothers. I've done some amazing episodes on this topic, a couple that really stand out are with Gabor Mate and Julia Samuel, so definitely go back and listen to those if you haven't already.SPECIAL THANKS TO ATHLETIC GREENS - THIS WEEK’S SPONSORWe are grateful to Athletic Greens for sponsoring this episode of the Motherkind podcast.

Welcome back to Motherkind Moment. Moment is your place on a Monday for calm, connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead.If you have followed me, the podcast, or my work for a while, you will know that I’m deeply passionate and interested in cycle-breaking - understanding what our own childhoods were like, what were the messages we received and what beliefs did we pick up. And then asking ourselves, Do we want to change any of those for our own families now that we are parents ourselves?This week’s Moment is a brilliant insight into: What it means to be a cycle-breaker How you know if you are a cycle-breaker How do you know which cycles you want to break How do we navigate that when we are around our extended family I get asked these questions all the time, so I asked Shelley and her answer is part of this episode.If you haven’t listened to the full episode I highly recommend it. You can listen to the clip by clicking above or the full episode here.ABOUT SHELLY ROBINSONShelly Robinson is a certified holistic family wellness coach, cycle-breaker, conscious parenting educator, and the creator of Raising Yourself. Her passion in life is to empower moms to turn their midlife crisis into midlife magic by teaching them how to reparent themselves, disrupt generational patterns, and take radically good care of their needs.When she's not connecting with her online community or geeking out on the latest neuroscience of cycle-breaking, she's likely making a mess in the kitchen with her two kids, trying to find her way out from under a pile of laundry, or decompressing with a good mystery in bed.MOTHERKIND PROGRAMMES AND RESOURCES INSTAGRAM: @zoeblaskey - come engage with Zoe and our community over on Instagram for inspiration, tips, and sometimes a bit of humour to get us through our day.
