What if the things holding you back… aren’t even yours?

In this episode, Safiya and I dive into the hidden influence of generational patterns, the beliefs, fears, and behaviors we inherit from our families without ever realizing it.

But not just any patterns, the kind that feel like personality traits or “just how life is,” when really, they’re subconscious rules passed down silently.

We talk about how these patterns aren’t just passed down through stories, but through silence. Through nervous system responses. Through what was modeled, but never named.

And how so much of what we call self-sabotage, playing small, or people-pleasing is actually a result of loyalty to those inherited rules.

This episode is curious, tender, and might help you finally put language to things you’ve felt but couldn’t explain.

• What generational patterns are, and how they quietly shape your identity
• Why your subconscious adopts beliefs long before you’re aware of them
• How trauma can be passed down without a single word ever being spoken
• Why guilt, loyalty, and love can keep you stuck in patterns that aren’t yours
• What it means to honor your family without reenacting their pain
