Trauma and cancer are two distinct yet interconnected health concerns that can have profound impacts on the physical and emotional well-being of those who experience it.  Past trauma will affect everything from the ability to cope with difficult diagnoses to navigating treatments and lifestyle changes, and even fears of recurrence - but did you know that trauma also significantly influences your ability to develop cancer in the first place?  In this episode, Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire explore beyond the physical and biological effects of trauma and tap into the impact trauma has on the mind and the habits of the mind - which can ultimately lead to the development of cancer and autoimmune disease.  Tune in to hear more about: [01:17] - The adaptive behavior response[05:06] - What do hormones have to do with it?[06:38] - The effect of stress on the body[08:00] - How to address trauma[15:51] - The importance of boundaries and communication[20:48] - Working with Regan and Dr. Keesha Connect with Dr. Keesha Ewers - Website: www.drkeesha.com | Instagram: @dr_keesha_ewers | Facebook: Keesha Ewers | TikTok:  @liberating_generations Connect with Regan Claire - Website: www.tasteofliberation.com | Instagram: @tasteofliberation

Core values dictate many aspects of life such as decision-making, relationships, problem solving, behavior and more... They are guiding principles and fundamental beliefs that shape our actions and reflect who we are as an individual - our foundation.  Everyone has their own set of core values, so it's important to identify the ones that are meaningful to you. When we acknowledge our values we can create a space that makes life easier - by honoring your values and making informed, conscious decisions to achieve personal goals and create a happier you.  In this episode, Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire explore the importance of being intentional about core values in your life.

In today's society, people are more oriented towards self-referencing and self-importance than ever before. It's no surprise that narcissistic behavior is at an all time high and leads one to ask… could this be a result of generational imprints? It's time to take a step back and look at the narcissist-empath patterns that so many people fall into and get down to the root cause, so we can work to rehabituate the way our minds work.  In this episode, Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire begin to explore the dance between people with narcissistic personalities and those who are empaths.

Apologies play a significant role in our lives - they serve as a way to repair relationships and address the consequences of our actions. Whether you have hurt someone, or been hurt yourself, apologies help open the door for forgiveness, compassion, and understanding.  A sincere, heartfelt apology goes far beyond words and comes from a place of respect, responsibility, and consideration of everyone involved. When done right, it allows you to shift into a state of healing, wisdom, and liberation. In this episode, Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire discuss the power of apologies and why it's so important to develop apology skills as a spiritual practice.

Addictive behaviors come in many shapes and sizes… Gambling, drinking, food, sex, shopping, even binge watching your favorite Netflix series - anything you think you NEED to make you feel "better.” Addiction is often a response to numb the pain of difficult memories, experiences or feelings - but the truth is, we are not meant to hide from the upsets of life! Instead, we need to dig deep and digest these moments - so we can grow in wisdom and experience true liberation through recovery.  Join Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire as they explore “The Popcorn Effect” and how it ties into addiction and recovery.

Everything in nature is made up of five elements: air, water, earth, fire, and space… Likewise, we have five energy systems that we can tie to each of them. Everyone has at least one (but likely two or more) of these energy patterns that we pull from in response to stress, trauma, and day to day life.  By knowing our energy systems, we're able to better understand why specific emotions show through in stressful situations - it allows us to recognize subconscious patterning that we may have otherwise been unaware of. It also enables us to discover useful methods that work to balance that energy in a more positive way. In this episode, Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire dive deeper into the five energy systems - join them as they explore some of the most powerful healing practices for each of the patterns, so you can find balance and begin to heal from traumatized energy.

Healing trauma is not a free pass for all other problems to disappear - it is a major step in the right direction but everyone has their own unique energy patterns that require nurturing in the process.   Generational influence, astrological patterning, human design, genetics, your culture etc. - all of these play a major role in the development of our energy patterns. It's so important to understand what these energy patterns are and how they work, so we can recognize where to pull from in order to balance our energy in a positive way.   In this episode, Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire take a deep dive into understanding the different energy patterns within the 5 elements - Air, Water, Earth, Fire, & Space. Discover what each of these types look like, how they respond to stressful situations, and the Ennea-types associated with them.

Trauma is not physically held in our bodies - instead, it's tucked away in the memory and emotional centers of the brain. In order to protect ourselves, it becomes a signal for the nervous system to activate whenever a similar situation occurs...  The problem with that is - you will habitually look for it to happen again and when our nervous system is constantly replaying that response, it becomes overactive - eventually leading to a flood of unwanted symptoms, complications, and ultimately disease.  In this week's episode of Liberating Generations, Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire dive deep into the impact that trauma has on your immune system and why getting to the root of the problem is absolutely imperative for your health.  Tune in to hear more about: [00:44] - The missing pieces to autoimmunity[05:08] - Trauma and your nervous system[12:37] - Stress is a spiritual gymnasium [17:57] - What perceptions have to do with gut health[21:25] - Hypervigilant minds create hypervigilant immune systems  Connect with Dr. Keesha Ewers - Instagram: @dr_keesha_ewers TikTok:  @liberating_generations Facebook: Keesha Ewers Connect with Regan Claire - Instagram: @tasteofliberation

There are two types of expectations... Shared agreements made between people, like exchanging vows on your wedding day or signing a contract - you understand you have a responsibility and you expect something in return from the other person(s) involved.  And then there are implied expectations... For example, a mother expects her grown child to come home for the holidays or a waitress expects to be tipped well for good service - this is more of an unspoken assumption that was never actually "agreed" upon by everyone involved. This type of expectation is yours alone and it's simply not fair to hold others to it, even when you're left disappointed. In this episode, Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire talk about how our expectations play a huge role in our disappointment and the importance of not letting it stop you in your tracks - but to take your experiences and gain the wisdom you need to go from disappointment intolerance to tolerance of disappointment.

Gossip is defined as casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true. But it's important to recognize that there's an exchange of information in order to better understand life, and then there is comparing yourself to others in order to feel better or worse… And both are centered around the ego. When gossip hurts - it's because there is a false sense of self and ego. So, how do we turn that hurt into growth? What can we learn from it? You have to realize that no one's words can truly harm YOU (only your Ennea type)! Because while it's not very difficult to decide not to partake in gossip… You can't always avoid hearing it from those around you.  In this episode, Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire sit down for an in-depth discussion about why breaking the negative karma of gossip is essential to positive changes in your life!  Tune in to hear more about: [01:04] - Regan's Experience with Gossip[04:04] - 10 Negative Karmas of Body, Speech, & Mind[12:02] - A Metaphor for Human Engagement[20:45] - Using Anger as a Path for Growth and Wisdom[24:05] - Why You Shouldn't Worry About Gossip[31:41] - A Challenge from Dr. Keesha Connect with Dr. Keesha Ewers - Instagram: @dr_keesha_ewers TikTok: @liberating_generations

Research is just starting to explore the devastating threads of how the pandemic has changed us as humans. I mean, it's no secret that fear, masks, and isolation played a major role in the decline of people's health over the past few years. And one thing is for certain… We are in need of emotional and social support now more than ever before. And we aren't meant to do it alone! If you truly want to accelerate healing in your life you need support, a community to hold your hand while you dig deep, process trauma, fuel your body and mind (and discover healthy ways to deal with life challenges moving forward).

One of the first lessons we learn in life is how to apologize. We learn to say 'I'm sorry' for things like taking something without permission, or hiding a broken plate… But the thing we aren't taught is how to forgive. Forgiveness is so much more than words - it is a healing action, an all-over response to letting go of hurt, betrayal, and trauma. So why is it so hard? Sometimes it feels impossible to forgive- whether we're forgiving others or ourselves. Learning that skill of forgiveness is a process that opens the door to true freedom, liberation, and healing from within.  Join Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire as they explore what it means to truly forgive and why it is so important in your journey of healing from intergenerational trauma.   Tune in to learn more about: [02:02] - Identifying Patterns to Truly Heal Trauma[05:55] - The Misalignment of Forgiveness[13:24] - Your body carries wisdom[22:36] - Regans Process of Tracking Hurt [35:07] - It All Starts With Self-Forgiveness [44:48] - Reconciliation Vs.

When we consider the ways that trauma manifests, we almost always immediately go to the mental and emotional side of things. And while it's true that trauma can contribute to mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD, trauma can also show up as physical symptoms in your body.  Jane Hogan, “The Wellness Engineer”, blends proven leading-edge science and spirituality-inspired practices to help people release chronic pain using the body, mind, and breathing techniques.

Growing up in a dangerous household can breed challenges many kids and teens should never have to face. At only 9 years old, our guest Brian Vaszily witnessed his father turning towards alcohol and away from his family, creating a home that had no stability but a lot of uncommunicated pain.  Later on in life as he watched his father win the battle against addiction, Brian discovered that the real story is not WHAT substance people may take, but WHY they chose to “self-medicate” in the first place.  Dr. Vaszily took that lesson and ran with it. He has worked closely with many top doctors, researchers, and natural health organizations, trying to figure out how trauma and the toxic burden your body carries can affect your aging process and your skin health.

Did you catch the first Enneagram podcast? If not, be sure to tune into the Enneagram & Intergenerational Trauma podcast then come back to learn more! An Enneagram is an elegant framework to help you better understand where your mental self attacks begin… It's merely the personality that was built, in response to early childhood events, to protect your innocent psyche. It does not define WHO you are but provides a broader insight into why someone thinks or behaves a certain way.   In this episode of Liberating Generations, Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire take an even deeper dive into the Enneagram and the 9 Ennea types by exploring three, instinctual subtypes that go with each of them - expanding the 9 into 27!

Dr. Kelly McCann, MD, is Triple-Board Certified in internal medicine, pediatrics, and integrative medicine. On this podcast, she discusses her struggles with conditions that plague so many people these days; chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and depression - and how she was able to overcome them.   [03:08] - Could the root cause be genetic predisposition?[16:32] - Generational trauma and what it has to do with your health[29:23] - The role of the placebo effect More about this podcast: The way we perceive the health and lives of other people is complicated, even for Dr. Kelly McCann, a highly-credentialed MD.  And trauma is a back story for SO many people who navigate chronic illness. For instance, when you feel a parent isn't showing love, it can throw you into a cycle of people-pleasing and seeking constant affirmation. If you're struggling with a chronic illness, it's worthwhile to reflect on the message your body is trying to tell you - and be able to look at your relationships objectively.

Trauma is not something everyone thinks of when suffering from fibromyalgia - but the truth is early childhood trauma can have a dramatic effect on someone's health. That's something Dr. Rodger Murphree has come to realize in his 22 years of treating fibromyalgia patients - he has found that those who suffer from trauma lose their plasticity to rebound from stress.

Trauma presents itself in many different ways - for some that can mean an unhealthy, binge-eating, type of obsession with food. That's right, sometimes “comfort food” runs much deeper than just easing daily stress. For Tricia Nelson, this was a hard lesson to be learned. With a love for food at a very young age, it easily became an addiction to help cope with a dysfunctional family and a mask to cover the shame of sexual abuse. But reaching for a bag of chips or a tub of ice cream never heals - it only temporarily numbs the pain. So, what do emotional eaters really crave?  Tricia Nelson is an internationally acclaimed author, transformational TEDx speaker, and emotional eating expert. She has spent the past 30 years studying addictive personalities - and successfully helped thousands of people heal their relationship with food, by looking at ways trauma can impact what and why you eat.

But to become the intimacy expert to millions, she had to overcome some deep-rooted sexual trauma of her own. Susan has discovered what it's like to have a deep, passionate relationship and she is here to share how you can too.

Forgiving, patient, kind, nurturing, wise, and full of good advice - just a few things that come to mind when you think of the role of a mother. But could these expectations be unrealistic?

As you can imagine, opening your own business is a stressful (and exciting) time - but add Lyme disease to the equation and it can become quite overwhelming. That's the unexpected path Darin Ingels found himself wandering down when he was diagnosed in 2002.

Dr. Peter Kan spent the early years of his life growing up in Taiwan where he was part of a very traditional Chinese society and culture. This would later affect him, at the age of 13, when his father decided to move the family to the United States despite not knowing a word of English.  Peter struggled greatly with the language and cultural barrier that he faced - basically feeling as though he was starting over.

You can inherit not only your Mother's eyes, Father's smile and Grandfather's hairline; you also unwittingly inherited the generational trauma that runs through your family lineage. Unresolved trauma is often the missing piece of the puzzle in any chronic illness (autoimmunity and cancer included), addiction, relationship unhappiness, and even financial stress. Intergenerational trauma influences your genetic expression, gut microbiome, self-sabotaging behaviors, perceptions of unworthiness, emotional reactivity, and the way you perceive yourself, your world, and everyone in it. Liberating Generations is a podcast hosted by Mother-Daughter due Dr. Keesha Ewers and Regan Claire that provides a forum for health experts from a wide variety of backgrounds from science to spirituality and philosophy to psychology to provide tools and tips you can use to free yourself and the generations before and after you from patterns that keep you stuck.
