Podcasts about generational trauma

Join host Charna Cassell for a raw and eye opening conversation with Margaret Bronson, founder of Deconstruction Doulas. Margaret grew up inside a high control Christian cult and survived domestic violence, child abuse, excommunication, and the long psychological fallout of authoritarian religion. Now she guides others through the same dismantling of belief systems that once owned them. In this episode, Margaret unpacks how she and her husband developed somatic practices to help survivors heal the trauma stored in the body after years of purity culture, spiritual coercion, and obedience enforced through shame and fear. She breaks down what truly happens inside high control religious communities and why so many people leaving them feel like they're stepping out of a parallel universe. This conversation also dives into the political reality many of us are waking up to. Margaret explains how the same ideology that shaped her childhood is now embedded in Project 2025, Christian Reconstructionism, and the growing Trad Wife movement. She outlines the playbook of modern theocrats and shows how personal trauma and national policy are intertwined when religion is weaponized. If you're feeling a visceral reaction to Project 2025, this episode will help you understand why. Margaret offers grounding tools, embodied healing practices, and a clear-eyed look at what we're facing as the country edges closer to an openly theocratic agenda. Tune in for a fierce, validating, and deeply necessary conversation for anyone untangling from religious trauma or trying to make sense of this political moment.

Feeling disconnected or unsure? Dr. Pat suggests: Body Check-In: When you consume news about social or political issues, what sensations do you notice in your body? Do you feel tense, numb, energized?Triggers and Ancestry: Think about a recent moment you felt fear or shut down in response to authority or conflict. How might this reaction connect to your community's historical or ancestral experiences?Finding Ventral Vagal: What people, places, or practices help you feel safe and connected? How can you incorporate more of these in daily life, especially when fear in society is high?From Reaction to Response: Recall a time you reacted in anger or froze up around an authoritarian figure/stressor. With compassion for yourself, consider how, if you had felt more grounded or supported, you might have responded differently? What support or boundaries would help in future similar situations?Collective Care: How can you contribute to a sense of safety and solidarity in your community? Could you start a trauma-informed discussion group, a community care circle, or simply check on neighbors more often?SOURCE: https://everythingispolitical.com/readings/your-nervous-system-under-fascism-a-decolonial-polyvagal-explorationDr. Pat's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pat.radical.therapist/?hl=enDr. Pat's substack: https://patradicaltherapist.substack.com/Dr. Pat's original post: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1281714603957641&set=pcb.1281714660624302Resources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

Your posture isn't random nor is it a a flaw.It is a family story your body's been carrying for generations. In this episode of The Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast, I share how generational trauma doesn't just live in memories—it lives in your bones, muscles, fascia, and spine.The way your shoulders roll forward when you're tired of carrying everyone's pain…The way your jaw tightens when you silence yourself to keep peace…The way your spine bends under guilt that was never yours to carry—These are not random habits. They're inherited postures. They tell the story of how love, duty, and survival intertwined through generations of women before you.And once you learn to listen to your body this way, healing stops being abstract—it becomes personal, alive, and sacred.CONTEXT | The Science + Spirituality of HealingFrom here, I guide you into the deeper understanding of why the body holds so much.I blend Kundalini Yoga Therapy, nervous-system science, and Christ Consciousness to help you see how trauma reshapes both the body and the brain—and how restoring your structure is how you restore your lineage.You'll learn how:The musculoskeletal system mirrors family roles and emotional inheritance.Fascia stores unspoken memories like an electrical web around every cell.The gut reveals how safely you can “digest” love, guilt, and life itself.The immune and lymphatic systems show where emotion has stopped flowing.And the spine—your inner ladder of resurrection—is the bridge where heaven meets earth.As we move through the science and the sacred, you'll begin to see that your symptoms are not signs of weakness.They're your lineage trying to communicate.And through breathwork, yoga, and forgiveness, you can rewire the nervous system and release the emotional architecture that kept generations in survival mode.PERMISSION | Your Body Is Not Broken—It's a TempleAnd this is where it all comes together.Because healing isn't about fixing what's wrong—it's about remembering who you are.By the end of this episode, you'll understand that you were never meant to carry the weight of the Mother Line—you were born to resurrect it.When one woman stands tall in truth, her entire lineage rises with her.You'll leave knowing:“My body isn't my prison. It's my bridge back to God.”Inside The Sovereign Sisterhood Sanctuary, women like you are remembering how to heal seven generations before and after through nervous system regulation, brain rewiring, and Christ-centered embodiment.It's where the body becomes what it was always meant to be—a temple of remembrance, a vessel of light,and the living proof that love never dies—it just waits for one woman to set it free.CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT JOINING THE SANCTUARY: https://subscribepage.io/jnkwzV Join us in our Free Private Facebook Group Community:   / sovereignsisterhoodmovement  00:00 Introduction: The Body's Silent Story00:45 Welcome to the Sovereign Sisterhood Movement01:35 Exploring Generational Trauma01:48 The Musculoskeletal System and Trauma03:08 Understanding Structural Change and Consciousness06:02 The Role of Fascia in Storing Trauma08:12 Impact of Trauma on the Musculoskeletal System08:26 The ZOS Muscle and Trauma20:50 Emotional Armory and Muscular Holding Patterns30:18 The Digestive System and Emotional Stress37:15 Kundalini Yoga for Healing Trauma40:40 Trusting Your Hunger and Nourishment41:24 Healing the Nervous System and Trauma42:16 The Immune and Lymphatic Systems44:51 Emotional Inflammation and Autoimmune Disorders47:14 Generational Trauma and the Mother Wound53:36 The Spine: Axis of Divine Connection59:01 Resurrection and Kundalini Energy01:03:01 Healing Through Kundalini Yoga01:08:19 The Body as a Temple01:11:44 Conclusion and Invitation to Sovereign Sister Sanctuary

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my journey as an Inner Child Healer—and how I help people recognize and mend the emotional wounds that often begin in childhood but quietly shape our adult lives.I've learned that when pain isn't healed, the wounded child within us grows into a hurting adult—and sometimes, without realizing it, we project that pain onto others, continuing patterns of generational trauma.In this conversation, I share: • How unhealed childhood wounds show up in our behavior and relationships • Why denial can keep us stuck in unspoken pain • The role of a safe, nurturing home in emotional healing • How awareness and compassion can break generational cycles • Simple steps you can take to start reconnecting with your inner child todayMy message is simple yet profound: Healing yourself isn't selfish—it's how we stop passing pain forward.Join me in this episode to understand your inner child, heal your past, and begin creating a kinder, more conscious future. You can also connect with me on Instagram for healing sessions and daily reflections.Support the showStay Connected with Vandana Light Healing :✨ Website: vandanalighthealing.com YouTube: @VandanaLightHealing Facebook: VandanaLightHealing Podcast: Hope & Healing LinkedIn: Vandana Atara Noorah Instagram: @vandana_light_healing Amazon Author: Vandana Atara Noorah

Dr. Bevan-Lee is a psychotherapist whose flagship program, the Legacy Workshop, has helped thousands of survivors and is the basis of the methods in her book, Iron Legacy: Childhood Trauma and Adult Transformation.

It's true that the current attacks on our community are dangerous and disorienting. That's the point of them: to confuse us into giving up hope. But the Latino community has always been resilient, and we will rise above this.    There are so many ways we can fight back and protect each other. In fact, there are tons of non-violent actions every single one of us can take right now if we want to. Non-violent action is one way we can pour our strength back into ourselves so that we have each other's backs. I've been thinking long and hard about this, and I've found a few ways you can get involved.    In this week's episode, we're talking about how you can harness your fear and turn it into power. These attacks on our community will not stop us from being the greatest versions of ourselves. We will continue to grow our businesses, support our community, and thrive in every facet of our lives.

Send us a textA quiet room. A slow breath. Then a simple truth surfaces: you were never trapped, and the door to safety has been open the whole time. We invite you into a guided meditation that moves gently from breathwork to visualization, from honoring ancestral survival to naming and releasing the patterns of exile that kept love at arm's length. The tone is soft but firm—there's no rushing, no fixing, just a series of choices that let your body learn what your mind may already know.We begin by shifting the nervous system out of survival mode with calm, repeatable cues—inhale safety, exhale fear; inhale strength, exhale shame. From that grounded place, you'll meet a younger version of yourself in a room heavy with uncertainty and walk together toward a glowing door that whispers welcome. Stepping through becomes a ritual of consent and belonging, a way to feel the relief of home without abandoning the past self who needed you most.We also speak directly to generational trauma—the closed doors, the silent messages, the burden myth—and offer language that honors ancestors while refusing to pass along their pain. Through clear affirmations—home is sanctuary, help is holy, I am never a burden—we replace the old script with a true one that can live in your breath and body. By the time you open your eyes, you're carrying a story that doesn't erase survival but reframes it as strength, not destiny.If this practice meets you where you are, share it with someone who needs a soft place to land. Subscribe for more guided meditations and gentle conversations about healing, and leave a review to tell us which line stayed with you. Your words help others find the open door.Support the showInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/angelamyerun/ Website: https://www.undetectednarcissist.com Blog posts: https://undetectednarcissist.com/blog/

Send us a textWhat if the relationship everyone calls “codependent” is really a survival plan no one saw? We unpack the quiet, punishing script that so many families pass down—once you leave home, you can't go back—and show how that belief traps people in toxic situations long after the Instagram smiles fade. Through a raw, compassionate story of a young woman who hid a decade of harm because she thought the door was closed, we name the pattern for what it is: generational exile trauma. And once you can name it, you can change it.We draw a clear line between emotional codependency and survival under duress, explaining why the same behavior—staying—can have different roots and needs. Instead of shaming labels, we offer a trauma-informed lens and practical tools: what an open-door policy sounds like, how to make options explicit before crisis hits, and why concrete resourcing—beds, rides, deposits, safety planning—must sit alongside nervous system care. If you're a parent, caregiver, or friend, you'll learn how to model a safe return without judgment. If you're surviving, you'll hear language and steps that widen your choices and quiet the spiral of “I'm a burden.”We also share a reflection practice, affirmations that reframe survival as strength, and a simple lineage-clearing prayer to release the “door is closed” belief. This is tender work and fiercely practical: part story, part strategy, all in service of safety, dignity, and connection. By replacing mislabels with truth and shame with support, we make room for exits that heal and a future where independence isn't exile—it's freedom with a home to return to.If this conversation resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear “the door is always open,” subscribe for more trauma-informed insights, and leave a review to help others find the show.Support the showInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/angelamyerun/ Website: https://www.undetectednarcissist.com Blog posts: https://undetectednarcissist.com/blog/

This week, Gare and I got to talk with Jennifer Fawcett about her serial killer thriller Keep This For Me! We dive into her inspiration for the story, how she was drawn to writing about the aftermath of a serial killer's actions, and how grief and trauma effect families for generations.Keep This For Me SynopsisOne hot August night in 1993, a young couple go to a party. When their car breaks down, they are picked up by a truck driver who attacks the man and abducts the woman. She is never seen again.That woman was Fiona Green's mother.When the trucker, Eddie Ward, is caught, a mass grave of bodies is discovered in his backyard but Fiona's mother isn't there. Thirty years later, on his prison deathbed, Ward insists that he didn't kill her, so Fiona finds herself back in the small town where her mother disappeared. Fighting demons of her own, she's shocked when history repeats itself: another woman, another roadside breakdown, and another disappearance. Only this time the primary suspect is Jason Ward, Eddie's son. Desperate, Fiona hunts down answers, unaware that she is being drawn into a dangerous trap.With Jennifer Fawcett's signature “suspenseful and immersive” (Library Journal) prose, Keep This for Me is a fresh, spellbinding exploration of what we unwillingly inherit from our parents and how one random act can send ripples years into the future.

"Learning about the inner child process connected things in a way that I had never thought of... never consciously recognized, and it was stark. And it started to explain so much."In this emotional and deeply transformative episode, I sit down with Hilary Valentine to talk about her journey inside The Mothership and the powerful shifts she experienced as she healed her mother wound. Hilary shares how the sudden loss of her father became a turning point that pushed her to re-examine her life, her family dynamics, and the patterns she was carrying. What followed was a profound exploration of inner child work, where she uncovered hidden layers of codependency, guilt, and unspoken grief that had been shaping her relationships since childhood.Through the process, Hilary moved from intellectualizing her pain to fully feeling and releasing it in her body, transformations that rippled into her relationship with her mom, her husband, her kids, and even her business. She bravely speaks about the moments of breakthrough that shifted her identity from people-pleasing and self-doubt into embodied clarity, freedom, and authentic self-expression.If you've ever struggled with family dynamics, carried unprocessed grief, or felt the weight of expectations shaping your choices, Hilary's story will inspire you to trust the process of inner healing and remind you that breaking generational patterns is not only possible, it changes everything.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSLife on the Road – Hilary's family's full-time RV journey and what led her to join The Mothership.The Catalyst: Losing Her Father – Shifting life perspective for a new path.Struggles with Family Reactions – Opening up about guilt and mom's sense of abandonment.The Mother Story Realization – Discoveries through the inner child process.Unprocessed Grief Around Her Brother – Facing hidden emotions of fear, anger, and guilt tied to her brother's terminal illness and loss.Breakthrough with Her Mom – The pivotal moment when Hilary embodied the work.Owning Her Truth in Business and Life**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world. My 4-week Unblock Your Business immersion is coming up the second week of October.

Send us a textEver wonder why you keep falling into the same relationship patterns? Or why certain childhood memories still sting decades later? The truth might be uncomfortable: you're living out scripts handed down by your parents—scripts they inherited from their parents before them.This episode dives deep into the generational patterns that shape our lives without our permission or awareness. As your host Corey Berrier reveals his personal journey, you'll recognize how childhood experiences before age seven program your subconscious mind, creating protective masks that once saved you but now suffocate your authentic self. Whether you became the overachiever, the people-pleaser, or the tough guy, these adaptations create a fracture between who you truly are and who you believe you must be to survive.The wake-up call comes when you notice the maddening repetition in your life—different partners but same fights, different jobs but same problems. That's not coincidence; it's your inherited script running on autopilot. But here's the empowering truth: what you inherit isn't your destiny. By making the unconscious conscious, taking responsibility without blame, and establishing daily practices that anchor you through life's storms, you can break free from these patterns. The healing journey isn't about becoming someone new—it's about becoming who you were before the masks.Ready to put down the generational burdens you never asked to carry? Ready to hold the pen that rewrites your story? This episode offers both the compassionate understanding and practical wisdom to help you break the chain and finally live authentically. Your inherited past doesn't have to determine your future.

Spring Flower: A Journey Through Generational Trauma, War, and Hope with Dr. Richard Perkins-HsungEpisode Description:In this profoundly moving episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, we sit down with Dr. Richard Perkins-Hsung—university professor, son of immigrants, and the devoted compiler of his late mother Jean's extraordinary memoir, Spring Flower. Together, we explore the deep impact of the immigrant experience and generational trauma, as seen through the lens of Jean's powerful life story.Jean was born into extreme poverty in China, where girls were considered worthless, and female infants were often abandoned. Her own mother endured the ancient, brutal custom of foot binding, breaking and reshaping feet to meet cultural ideals. As an infant, Jean survived one of the deadliest natural disasters of the 20th century when the Yangtze River flooded, killing millions through drowning, famine, and disease.Miraculously, Jean was adopted by compassionate American missionaries who devoted their lives to serving the Chinese people. From there, Jean's journey would span Japanese occupation during World War II, a fateful encounter with Mahatma Gandhi, the terror of the Communist Revolution, and a dramatic escape to the United States—all while leaving behind a husband and daughter.Through Jean's story, we see history come alive—her resilience, sacrifice, and determination shaped not only her son Richard's childhood but also the generational narrative passed down through trauma and healing.In this episode, you'll hear about:The devastating culture of gender inequality in early 20th-century ChinaJean's survival through the Yangtze River flood and WWIIHer inspiring American missionary adoptive parents and their humanitarian workLife under Mao's Communist Revolution and the personal cost of political upheavalJean's heartbreaking separation from her husband and daughterRichard's journey as an immigrant boy in America and how his mother's legacy shaped himThe importance of understanding ancestral stories to find personal healing and identityThe creation of Spring Flower, Jean's posthumous memoir, honoring her voice and lifeDr. Richard Perkins-Hsung offers deep insights into how historical trauma becomes generational, and how retelling these stories with compassion can become a tool for healing.Connect with Dr. Richard Perkins-Hsung: 

I'm so glad you're here to take a listen to Rachel's stories of her grandmother's gardens in Zimbabwe and her life growing up in Australia.Throughout her life, Rachel has travelled and lived in London, Hong King and Tel Aviv. Now she lives in Manhattan and says she "pretty much lives for cooking and entertaining.  The history of food, it's culture and migration, as well as its ability to bring people together over a diverse and lively table is why I love what I do."  It's been ten years since she and her co-founders, Lisa Mendelson and Monica Molenaar, began Seed + Mill.As a little girl, Rachel's has fond memories of running through her grandparent's gardens in Zimbabwe, climbing avocado and mango trees. This was the beginning of her passion for what she enjoys today. What she began to understand as she got a little older was her grandparents experience immigrating to Africa from Prague, formerly referred to as the capital city of Czechoslovakia.  Today, Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic.  Her grandparents were Holocaust survivors and fled Prague in order to begin a new life. Jane ,Rachel's mother, was born and lived in Zimbabwe until she was about eighteen years old. Jane eventually fell in love, got married, moved to London then settled in Sydney, Australia with her husband. My guest shares wonderful stories of her mother, Jane.  "She was incredibly generous, passionate about many things, loved to share whatever she was interested in, whether with her family, or share with her friends and neighbors. Whatever she was excited about she loved to share with other people. She was a horticulturalist and a physical therapist." Jane also worked in obstetrics helping pregnant women and post-natal mothers.In looking back at Jane's childhood, "it was different from what it looked like from the outside. Her parents had been traumatized because of their experience as Holocaust survivors.  They were trying to rebuild their lives, but it had taken a toll on all of them. That experience, Rachel shares, "impacted mom's sense of identity."Jane was brave and resilient, according to Rachel. "She longed for nurture and really deep and meaningful relationships with people. She received and she gave that encouragement in equal measures."When asked if Rachel felt safe and secure in her home growing up, her response was, "I always felt safe and secure and felt lots of love from my mother. In lots of ways, in an unconscious and  unspoken way, I was always worried about her mental health. I could feel that generational trauma from my grandmother to my mother and now probably to me. And I am mindful of this to my own daughter."This is such a loving and beautiful story of women who loved one another unconditionally, yet there were barriers that couldn't be broken.Though Rachel's mother has passed away, Rachel says she speaks with her everyday. She visited her mother in Australia several time in her last remaining monthsand weeks.  As she was by her mother's bedside, she wrote her most recent cook book "Sesame."   She turned in her transcript for the book and the very next day, her mother passed away.Rachel is so proud of all that her mother did for she and her younger sister. "She was always committed and worked really hard. She filled her time and days and relationships to not feel her own pain."Thank you for being so open and honest Rachel.  It was an absolutely pleasure to meet your mum through your eyes and your heart.Contact Information:Instagram: seedandmillIf you're looking for information about Rachel's NEW Cookbook "Sesame" click on this link and then click on "cookbook" on the top left banner.

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?

The new documentary My Father, The Healer is an amazing story of ancestral wisdom and healing generational trauma. I'm joined by Alex Lu, the subject of My Father, The Healer—a powerful new docudrama. The film tells the story of Alex's father, Master Li, a gifted Chinese QiGong master who grew up in the harsh realities of the Cultural Revolution in Maoist China. Forced to hide his healing gifts, he later fled to the West, where he built a remarkable following, helping thousands overcome terminal illness. Yet while he brought healing to so many, he struggled to face his own ancestral wounds. This is a story that begins in mystery and ultimately finds its way to healing.

Jon delves into complex themes such as cultural erasure, identity, mental health, and the unique portrayal of vampires. He discusses the significance of Bow and Grace as symbols of erased history and the hauntingly beautiful arc of their characters. The conversation also touches on themes of faith, the psychological impact of historical trauma, and the innovative use of aspect ratios in storytelling. Jon also brings back Producer Alexis Cardoza in the epilogue to share his perspectives, linking the movie's themes to broader social and historical contexts. Tune in for a rich, thought-provoking analysis that elevates Sinners beyond a typical horror film.

What if the struggles you face today as a woman didn't start with you—but with your mother, and her mother before her? In this powerful conversation, therapist and certified mother-daughter coach Erica Thomas shares how our earliest identity as “daughter” shapes our personality, our relationships and even how we show up at work.   We're breaking open the cultural and familial scripts that keep women small—silencing our voices, worrying more about how things look than how they feel, and losing ourselves in people-pleasing servitude. You'll hear Erica's personal story, why she believes the patriarchy often lives inside us, and how healing the mother-daughter wound creates generational change that ripples both forward and backward in time.   This episode is part truth-telling, part blueprint: a call to every woman who wants to stop carrying the emotional weight she inherited, and start living with authenticity and personal power.   Erica Thomas is a licensed psychotherapist of over 20 years and a mother-daughter relationship expert driven to create generational change for women. As the founder of Vita Nova Counseling and Vita Nova Mother-Daughter Coaching, Erica guides women to heal past hurts and growth into their God-given potential and helps mothers and daughters transform generational legacies into ones that leave healing, hope, reconnection, and empowerment.    Find Erica on social media Facebook: @vitanovaLHTX Instagram: @vitanovacounseling LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ericagthomas Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober.

 "I come out of this with a sense of humor, and also some toxic skills. If there's anybody out there who kind of identifies here, these skills served you when you were young. So we don't want to shame those. Like, why am I this way? Why do I respond this way? Through the therapy I've been through, I would say you have to thank that part of you. For enabling you to survive. Because without my anger, I wouldn't have survived without the ability to fight. I think self-compassion is usually the answer for sustaining long-term change where you say, you know what, thank you for that."00:00 Walking on Eggshells :The Illusion of Normalcy04:14 Hank's Childhood: A Glimpse into Family Struggles07:48 Coping Mechanisms and Survival Skills25:22 Overcoming the Past: Becoming a Change Agent31:53 Scriptural Insights on Generational Trauma43:55 The Importance of Compassion49:52 Understanding Personal Spiritual Evidence01:00:33 Final ThoughtsSeptember 5th & 6th COME BACK TO CHRIST EVENT Tickets can be purchased at: https://www.comebackpodcast.org/come-back-to-christ-event-september-5-6-utah-valley-convention-center-provo-ut-3/Come Back to Christ Event Sponsors: https://templeboundsaints.org/https://www.dfcu.com/https://www.latterdaymatchmaker.com/https://www.matthewbraidleypianos.com/https://mikesautoshack.com/Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% off https://memorjewelry.com Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

Brianne encourages everyone to break the cycle of emotional immaturity, urging parents to engage in personal growth and self-care to foster healthier connections with their children.
