Send us a text

Words have power, especially those spoken by parents to their children. Have you ever considered how the phrases your parents used might actually reveal their own unhealed trauma? In this illuminating episode, Chrisy and Kerry unpack ten common expressions that signal generational pain being passed down through families.

What makes this conversation particularly powerful is the compassion both hosts bring to their analysis. Rather than condemning parents who use these phrases, they explore the underlying trauma that leads adults to repeat harmful patterns. They acknowledge their own struggles as parents to break these cycles, noting how easy it is to fall back on learned behaviors even when we consciously want to do better.
