Ep 49: Unlearning The Roots of Generational Silence And Its Impacts on the Next Generation

Generational silence impacts relationships at any level. Silence is often a powerful message, often representing the passing down of unresolved pain , trauma, and unaddressed emotions that shape the way that we form and maintain relationships, choose to love, and communicate with individuals our entire lives. Whether it is motivated by fear, avoidance, or cultural expectations - understanding why and how to break an endless cycle of silence can often be the answer to ensuring we build safe, stable, and healthy relationships. In this episode, we briefly highlight key moments we've observed throughout our life.

When you see someone like you, whether on the screen or in a classroom, you feel an increased sense of confidence and belonging.
