Have you ever wondered if the struggles you feel—like anxiety, sadness, or repeating family patterns—might not actually be yours? In this episode of The Empowered Journey Podcast, Emily explores the fascinating concept of inherited emotions and how unresolved trauma from past generations can live on in us today.

You’ll hear about groundbreaking scientific research that shows how fear and trauma can be passed down biologically through generations. Emily also shares why releasing these inherited emotions can transform not only your life, but also the lives of future generations.

Plus, she offers book recommendations if you’d like to dive deeper into the science and healing of generational trauma.

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by emotions that don’t make sense, this episode will help you see that healing is possible—and that you don’t have to carry what was never yours to begin with.
