I deeply understand the weight of generational trauma. Growing up, I often felt like I wasn’t enough, constantly striving to fit in, succeed, and prove my worth—not just to my parents but also in a culture that often felt unfamiliar. I struggled with anxiety, people-pleasing, and feelings of never being 'good enough.' Those around me couldn’t see my struggles on the outside, but they were ruling my thoughts on a daily basis.

It wasn’t until I became a parent that I began to truly see the layers of my past. The trauma I had inherited showed up in my thoughts, behaviors, and patterns as a mother—causing me to react in ways that didn’t align with the parent I wanted to be. My marriage, too, felt the weight of these triggers, as my emotional walls of unprocessed trauma often prevented me from fully connecting with my husband. I longed for deeper connection but felt stuck in old patterns of self-protection.

As I embarked on my healing journey and uncovered the layers of trauma, I began to see how shame and guilt had quietly shaped my decisions. Recognizing them allowed me to respond with greater awareness—both as a parent and a partner. The process was both eye-opening and challenging, pushing me to confront parts of myself I had long overlooked. But through hard work came deep transformation. Now, I see my future with clarity, hope, and a sense of freedom I never thought possible.
