Ep. 8 The Hitchhiker's Guide to: The Masks of the Generational Curse Breakers of the World
Manage episode 470042291 series 3640569
You ever get something amazing, like your dreams coming true, and instead of pure joy, your brain goes “oh no, what if this gets taken away?” Yeah. Fun times. Turns out, survival mode doesn’t just clock out when things get better. It just puts on a different mask. 🎭
In this episode, we’re cracking open the whole shame/masks/generational trauma can of worms, because why not go all in?
- Being known vs. being seen—one is a performance, the other is terrifyingly real
- The family secrets & buried shame that keep generational curses alive
- Why sudden success can feel like a setup for disaster (looking at you, lottery winners & overnight celebrities)
- Shadow work: Turns out, the goal isn’t to get rid of the dark parts of you—it’s to integrate them
- The power of being believed—and how just one person can change everything
- Millennials, Gen X, and Generation Jones, congrats! You won the Golden Ticket to breaking cycles (no refunds, sorry)
- How shame literally rewires the brain—and why we’re undoing it now
Generational trauma doesn’t get to win. Not on our watch.
