Podcasts about breaking cycles

Send us a textWhat if the patterns keeping you stuck aren't even yours to begin with? From our earliest moments, our minds absorb everything around us like wet cement—every word, every glance, every reaction forming the foundation of how we see ourselves and the world.The most profound revelation in understanding our patterns is recognizing that many weren't chosen but inherited. Your parents passed down what they knew, having received the same from their parents, creating an unbroken chain stretching back generations. Nobody consciously hands down their wounds, yet we find ourselves living out scripts written long before we could write our names. These invisible patterns show up everywhere—in relationships that keep ending the same way, in money behaviors that sabotage stability, in the masks we wear believing they're our true identity.Breaking free begins with awareness. That relationship dynamic that feels so familiar? It's mirroring what you learned about love as a child. That self-sabotage that keeps happening? It's an old protection strategy that's outlived its usefulness. The transformation happens when you turn toward what you've been avoiding—your shadows, your inner child, your authentic self beneath the programming. Through reparenting, you can give yourself what you always needed but never received. And the miracle is that when you heal yourself, you don't just change your life—you break patterns that might otherwise continue for generations.Ready to pick up the pen and rewrite your story?

In this Student Spotlight, Wendy Snyder interviews Caitlin—a mom of two from Indianapolis—about her real-life journey with the Fresh Start Experience. Caitlin shares how shifting from reactive habits to peaceful parenting has strengthened connection at home, built emotional literacy in her kids, and helped her break generational cycles with empathy and consistency.  She also celebrates inviting her parents (the boys' grandparents) into the learning—proof that growth can ripple through an entire family. With practical wins rooted in nervous system regulation, Caitlin shows how modeling calm, naming feelings, and holding firm, kind boundaries can transform everyday moments like transitions, spills, and sibling tension into chances to learn and bond. If you're curious what positive parenting looks like beyond theory—and how community support keeps you consistent—this encouraging story will give you hope and a roadmap for real change.

SUMMARY: The conversation features Reverend Cheryl discussing her experiences with childhood trauma, including living in a chaotic environment with an abusive father and a depressed mother. *She emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing abuse, understanding forgiveness, and setting boundaries. *The dialogue explores the complexities of healing, the role of faith, and the necessity of confronting abusive behavior while also finding strength in God. *Reverend Cheryl shares insights on how to support women in violent situations, the significance of therapy, and the importance of community support. *Ultimately, she highlights that healing is a lifelong journey involving layers of understanding and growth, and encourages women to assert their identity in Christ to reclaim their voices and establish healthy boundaries. PODCAST INTRO: The ministry of my guest, Reverend Cheryl Kincaid, focuses on giving voice to Christian women caught in violent situations and relationships, aiming to help them find wholeness and healing through God's instruction. Using her personal story of abuse combining that with her education in Marriage and Family Therapy along with her Master of Divinity from San Francisco Theological Seminary, Rev Cheryl talked about understanding abuse, boundaries, identity, righteous anger, and forgiveness as taught in the bible. The discussion on forgiveness alone was worth the conversation because so much about God's love and forgiveness has been hijacked with a toxic empathy that is used against tender hearted, conscious Christians especially the abused. We talked about the difference between forgiveness and denial. Reverend Cheryl states that forgiveness requires acknowledging the hurt caused by others and making a conscious decision to forgive, while denial involves minimizing the impact of the abuse or rationalizing it. One of the tools that Rev Cheryl shares is for the moments when you're having a flashback, you've been triggered or trying to resolve inner, emotional mental conflict in yourself. She shares this exercise, the therapeutic term known as classical conditioning and it involves using your dominate hand to represent yourself as the adult you are and your non-dominate hand as the child you were. Using your dominant hand you write down something like, I know you're in pain right now and Using your name, you ask yourself by writing down, what is going on? Then Using your non-dominant hand write down your emotions. There is a point to using your non-dominant hand because it looks like a child's handwriting. Then Looking at the emotions that surfaced you use your adult hand (that knows the truth about where you are now) to comfort your child hand (that is bringing forth the emotions that are connected to the pain). Reframe the emotions with truth whether it be with God's word/His promises, with facts such as Rev Cheryl said things like, You couldn't take care of yourself then but you can take care of yourself now and then you'd list truths. If it was about money, it could be, I have a job, I have a bank account, I'm working toward financial independence. If it was about not having control then say, I have control over myself, I'm responsible for myself, I am learning to set boundaries, I have boundaries in place etc Things that speak truth over where you are today. To me, I thought it was effective using your hands because it gets you outside your head. I think that would be beneficial because sometimes you have so much emotion and overwhelm in your head that if you can make it external, it seems to help you isolate and sort through your emotions in that moment. It reminds me of the effectiveness of journaling as a way to purge your thoughts on paper, it gets everything you can list out of your mind and you can sort through it that way too. So in short, us the classical condition exercise to take what you're believing based on your past and updating it with the truth of where you are today and where you're headed, toward wholeness and healing. And even if your current answers for today (as the adult) are not in your favor with regard to healing and wholeness it gives you a starting point, it helps you pinpoint the fact you need to take action. One of the things we didn't get a chance to talk about is that Rev Cheryl is an author of several books. Her stories are inspired from witnessing God's redemptive grace in the messy reality of authentic life for Christian's, including her own. In her stories she's not afraid to address violent issues that many women find themselves in. Using realistic life situations she reveals the heart of God, His love, care, concern, ability to heal and restore despite the brokenness of this life. Be prepared to stop this audio along the way so that you can digest what she is sharing; which is practical advice and things you can immediately implement to move from being a victim to becoming victorious!

“What if trauma didn't define you—but dared you to rise?”“And what if healing didn't begin with silence—but with fire? ”Trauma should not be perceived as a defining characteristic of one's identity; rather, it can serve as a catalyst that compels individuals to rise and reclaim their power."In this enlightening episode of One More Thing Before You Go, I engage in a profound discussion with Donna Simmons, a survivor, author, and tenacious advocate for justice and healing. Donna's remarkable journey from abuse and exploitation to embodied healing and radical compassion is encapsulated in her memoir, *Ashes to Flame*, and her podcast, *The Last Generation*. Through her courageous narrative, she not only articulates her truth but also ignites a movement for fellow survivors, encouraging them to break the cycle of trauma and embrace their healing journey. This dialogue transcends mere conversation; it represents a reckoning and a call to action for all who seek liberation from their past, illuminating the path toward a future characterized by empowerment and resilience.If you are looking to reclaim your power, to start on the journey of healing as a survivor and you don't know where to start. We have answers for you. Stay tuned I'm your host. Michael Herst welcome to one more thing before you go….Takeaways: In this episode, Donna Simmons emphasizes that trauma does not dictate one's identity but can serve as a catalyst for personal growth and resilience. The conversation reveals that healing is a dynamic process that begins not in silence but in confronting one's pain with fervor and determination. Donna's advocacy against child marriage illustrates the importance of transforming personal adversity into societal change through legislative action. The narrative shared in this episode highlights the necessity of community support in the healing journey, allowing survivors to reclaim their narratives and find their voices. The discussion around intergenerational trauma underscores the profound impact of family history on individual experiences, and the importance of breaking these cycles for future generations. Finally, Donna's message is a powerful reminder that rewriting one's legacy involves actively choosing to transform pain into purpose, creating a brighter future for oneself and others.

Today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson is a carefully crafted full-on rant about two awful cultural failures, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. Both, in their own ways, are failing the next generation and pushing the normalization of pedophilia. Trump refuses to release the Epstein list or hold powerful pedophiles accountable. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift flaunts her naked body on her album cover marketed to an audience that includes young girls who are already being tempted by a society pushing them toward OnlyFans. Feminism has clearly failed. We need to bring back the biblical patriarchy, AKA Christianity.At some point, we have to stop asking why is all of this happening and start living biblically individually, in our families, and as a society. For the sake of our own wellbeing and (far more importantly) the protection of our children. If we can't even agree to safeguard their innocence, what are we doing? Why aren't we protecting the children?--https://bakerbookhouse.com/featured/the-brand-sunday

There are moments in life when you realize you're not just hurting—you're repeating. The same anger your father carried now rises in you. The same fear your mother walked in now follows you. Generational pain doesn't die quietly. It repeats—unless someone decides it stops here.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” — Romans 12:21 (ESV)Cycles of pain are real. Abuse, addiction, bitterness, emotional silence—these patterns don't just start out of nowhere. They often get passed down. And here's the dangerous part: we don't always realize we're caught in a cycle until we see the damage repeated in someone else.But you, my friend—you are not bound by your bloodline. You are defined by your spiritual birthright.Jesus didn't just die to forgive you—He died to set you free. Free from what wounded you. Free from what formed you. Free from what was normalized in your family but never belonged in your destiny.Breaking cycles isn't easy. It takes awareness. It takes forgiveness. It takes walking in the opposite spirit. It means answering pain with peace, trauma with truth, and rejection with redemption.You are not powerless. You are a cycle-breaker, a chain-smasher, a generation-shifter. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is in you—not to help you cope, but to help you conquer.So let the healing begin with you. What was handed to you in pain, you can return in peace. And in doing so, you rewrite the legacy for everyone who comes after.Question of the Day:What unhealthy family pattern or pain have you silently accepted that God is calling you to break?Mini Call to Action:Declare this out loud: “This ends with me. By the power of Jesus, I refuse to carry what God has set me free from.”Let's Pray:Jesus, I'm tired of repeating pain. Break every chain that's tried to follow me. Let Your healing flow into my past, through my present, and into the generations to come. I will walk in freedom, by Your power alone.

In a world marked by division and old wounds, sometimes a single act cuts through the darkness. This week, through the words of Simran Singh, we encounter the story of Aaron Castro and his choice to release decades of hatred and transform his pain into something else. Aaron's story speaks of cycles that can be broken, burdens that can be lifted and the alchemy that turns suffering into sanctuary. It's a meditation on what becomes possible when we choose to heal rather than amplify the hurt around us and a reminder that forgiveness might be less about forgetting the past and more about refusing to let it dictate the future.

Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Jason Smith, a former crime scene investigator turned transformative coach and podcaster, who shares his journey through pain, pivots, and purpose. Jason opens up about what he calls “chronic resilience”—the cycle of repeatedly bouncing back without ever fully breaking free from limiting beliefs—and how it ultimately led him to help others break through their emotional conditioning. From his early days as a chef to becoming a police officer, Jason recounts the emotional toll of crime scene work, including heartbreaking suicide notes that fueled his mission to make others feel seen and supported. After a career-ending injury, he found himself at a crossroads and chose a path of impact over safety, building a brand from scratch and launching a podcast to amplify voices and stories that matter.With humility and passion, Jason reminds us that midlife isn't a crisis—it's an awakening—and that anyone can pivot with purpose, no matter their past. This is an episode about service, healing, and the courage it takes to become who you were always meant to be.Website-https://stan.store/Jbirdfit Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.facebook.com/Jbirdfit3/https://www.instagram.com/jbirdfithttps://www.youtube.com/@Jbirdfithttps://www.tiktok.com/@jbirdfit?

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we are sharing an episode that we recorded a little while ago with Dr. Mariel Buqué about breaking cycles from our childhood. Let's get real. This can be a doozy and her book slays at teaching us how to do this. It's called Break the Cycle. It's a book that focuses on healing wounds of intergenerational trauma. We all come to adulthood with different things from our childhood that we might wanna pass on to our kids and carry forward, and some things that we don't wanna pass on or carry forward. She helps us navigate what this looks like in practice. She's brilliant and I'm so jazzed to share this episode again, and then get to share the breakdown afterward with Rach.

How do our own childhood wounds shape our parenting? Certified conscious parenting coach Shelly Robinson reveals that our most triggering moments with our children often stem from unhealed parts of ourselves - even when we had seemingly idyllic childhoods.Through a powerful story about a bath time battle with her four-year-old that escalated into screaming, Shelly shares how this moment became her wake-up call. "I didn't want to do that ever again," she explains, describing how the incident led her to discover that her disproportionate anger wasn't about her son's behavior at all, but about moments from her own childhood when she felt unheard and insignificant.The conversation explores practical strategies for breaking generational cycles, including understanding developmental expectations, practicing self-awareness before reacting, and learning to repair relationships through sincere apologies. Shelly's approach is refreshingly humble, acknowledging that perfect parenting isn't the goal - compassionate awareness is. She introduces her family's "Communication Station" practice, where family members take turns speaking while others practice deep listening without judgment - a simple but transformative tool for developing conflict resolution skills.For parents of tweens and teens wondering if it's too late to change established patterns, Shelly offers heartening advice: "It's never too late. Children never stop wanting secure attachment with their parents." The pathway forward involves ownership of past mistakes, genuine apologies, and consistent change. Whether you're just beginning your parenting journey or looking to strengthen relationships with older children, this conversation provides both the inspiration and practical tools to create the connected, calm family life you've been seeking.Connect with ShellyVisit her website, or connect on Facebook or Instagram.

This week, we're bringing you something special: an episode from Add to Cart, a show we love hosted by Kulap Vilaysack and SuChin Pak. You might remember Kulap when she was a guest on our show back in 2018, where she bravely unpacked her childhood trauma and shared how it led to her documentary film. Add to Cart is a witty, subversive take on consumerism. Each week, Kulap and SuChin have candid (and often TMI) conversations about what they're adding to or removing from their carts—whether it's products, people, trends, or philosophies. Together, they explore what we're buying into and what it reveals about who we are.  In this episode, they're joined by author and journalist Vicky Nguyen for the very first Auntie Book Club of the year, diving into her powerful memoir Boat Baby. Vicky talks about going from boat refugee to national TV and why the R is for refuse in her household.
