Welcome to the intro of I’m Talkin to You, I’m Talkin to Me Too! Join me as I find my voice—the voice that was stolen, but somehow along the way, I gave away too—saying all the things I should’ve said while walking through my experiences of generational trauma. My grandmother kept quiet, and my mother carried those untold stories. My mother kept quiet, and I carried hers. Now, I’m speaking so my daughter won’t have to carry mine. From my grandmother’s struggles to my mother’s pain, I unravel how trauma shaped me and how I learned to become who others needed just to stay connected. Through therapy and reflection, I’m doing the work to know my true self—for my daughter and me—breaking cycles and refusing to let trauma define the next generation.
The untold stories our mothers carried burned within them, their pain, sadness, and disappointment erupting as fear and frustration. That weight wasn’t my mother’s to hold, but she couldn’t release it, and so it was passed to me. I refuse it—it’s not mine, and it holds no power over me. Through reflection, I’m reclaiming the strength in my story, speaking its truth so my daughter inherits the power of my voice, not the silence of my trauma.
