Some wounds are passed down like heirlooms. In this raw second chapter, I unravel the complex legacy of generational trauma through my mother’s desperate search for validation in men’s attention – and how watching her dance shaped my own beliefs about self-worth.

What you’ll hear:

The inheritance of unworthiness
When mother’s love comes with conditions
Learning to disappear
The price of external validation
Breaking generational patterns
First steps to healing the mother wound

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt invisible in their own home, who learned too young that love was something you had to perform for. You’re not alone in this healing.

Remember: Your worth is not measured by others’ validation. If you or someone you love needs help: RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline: 800.656.HOPE (4673)

EP 743 {Part Two} From Breakdown to Breakthrough: The Story Behind My Timeline Jump

Inside this episode, you’ll hear the real signs of a quantum leap that almost no one talks about. Like why rest feels threatening. Why your body keeps trying to “do” and produce. Why your brain keeps trying to make problems where there aren’t any. Why you feel disoriented even though you know you’re entering a new timeline.

This is where the subconscious rewiring happens. This is where the new identity replaces the old one at the root. This episode will help you understand what your body is doing, what your brain is trying to protect you from, and how to regulate your nervous system so the new timeline can actually lock in — instead of snapping you back to the old reality through fear, distraction, and overthinking.
