Generational trauma is the pain we inherit without consent, passed down through silence, survival, and unhealed wounds. In this deeply transformative episode of the Self Help Show, Gina is joined by Zita, a mom, wife, and personal development coach, to unpack the hidden patterns we’ve been carrying for centuries.

From the effects of colonization and suppressed family narratives to the subtle ways trauma shows up as perfectionism, anxiety, people-pleasing, or burnout, this episode doesn’t hold back. Together, Gina and Zita shine a light on the “unspoken,” creating a safe space to acknowledge, release, and begin healing.

You’ll discover how to:

• Recognize generational patterns holding you back.
• Reframe trauma responses like self-sabotage, silence, and overachievement.
• Break the cycle by identifying the source of your pain and calling it by its name.
• Create emotional freedom and reclaim your power by choosing healing, rest, and self-love.

This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a movement. Healing isn’t easy, but it’s possible. And you don’t have to do it alone.
