Send us a text

You're invited to join me on a transformative journey, as we examine the complex depths of generational trauma and the path towards healing with the guidance of Dr. Kathy Tolleson, a seasoned counselor, trauma specialist and life coach. Journeying through the intricate landscape of PTSD, we'll further understand the unique challenges of blending families and consider the integral role that the resilient combination of determination, intelligence, creativity, and an entrepreneurial spirit can play in overcoming adversity. The voyage gets personal as we traverse the emotional terrain of my own family, reflecting on the resilience and transformation of my mother, and my own route towards understanding and acceptance.
We unravel the story of a young girl, deeply affected by her father's death, and her ensuing struggle with faith, trust, and safety. Dr. Tolleson provides profound insights into how trauma can lead to a lack of trust and feelings of isolation. We'll also discuss the challenges of blending families, the insidious patterns of self-sabotage, and how a thorough understanding of trauma is vital in parenting.
Lastly, we'll venture into the fascinating world of addiction and the biological underpinnings of dopamine. Gain insights into why some addictions are harder to break than others and how to manage dopamine levels responsibly with activities like writing to-do lists, cultivating creativity, balanced meals, and mindful moments. This episode is a treasure-trove of invaluable insights into understanding communication styles, self-reflection, and the correlation between financial triggers and our sense of worthiness. Join us for this enlightening discourse, and allow us to inspire your journey towards healing and personal growth.
