THE WORK
Follow Family

“Family is not an important thing, it’s everything.”
—Michael J. Fox

o What are your family’s values?
Be sure to place them somewhere in the home
everyone can see.
o Set a date for you and your partner to go over the
division of labor in your home. Be sure to set a few
hours, and let it be flexible at first.
o Set a weekly family meeting time and day - Sunday
6pm is good for us. Discuss the upcoming week
together. Ask what everyone has going on and who
needs extra help this week.
o Set a time weekly with your partner to discuss the
week. We like walk and talks, where we discuss how
we can help each other, our current workload, and any
travel.
o Divide chores up between kids that are age-
appropriate. You would be so surprised if you Google
age-appropriate chores. Our kids are so much more
capable than we allow them to be.

Our kids set a timer for thirty minutes and like to tackle their chores
together. If this doesn’t work, assign them
individually.

o We will discuss with kids on (date and time)

Remember: slow and steady wins the race. Changes take
time. Implement one at a time until you feel confident to move
on to the next one.

THE WORK
Follow Break Generational Trauma, One Trauma at a Time

“Healing is a daily event. You can’t ‘go somewhere’ to be
healed: you must go inward to be healed. This means a daily
commitment to doing the work.”
—Dr. Nicole LePera, The Holistic Psychologist

Our purpose is not to create a perfect life for our kids or our
people. It is to show our humanness and to raise our kids to
know they are deeply loved by their deeply imperfect parents.
And to show our people we are flawed humans who are doing
the best with what we know, right now.

Our work is to become aware of our traumas and triggers
and the impacts they can have, if unchecked, and then to
decide which ones have the biggest impact on our people.

Have you ever met an adult with no issues? No parent
issues or people-pleasing, boundary issues or control issues?
Me, neither... Not sure I want to or need to, either.

What if, each year, we focused on different parts of
ourselves instead of tackling all our trauma and hoping we can
be perfect for those close to us?

It can be so overwhelming, when you begin work in your
life with a coach, mentor, therapist, guide, or pastor. Instead,
pick one thing, and focus on that! Shift that! Grow in that area!

• This year, my big focus will be:
• While I am doing this for me, I know
  ____________________________ will also be hugely impacted.
• The reason I choose this for my yearly goal is:
• When I feel like I am not making real progress, I will
  pay attention to mini-magical moments by:
• Actions I will take include:
• My triggers around this trauma are:
• I want to show up for my people in the following way:
  By showing my people my human, imperfect side, I
  am giving them a gift of:
  
  Focusing on one per year will shift the all-or-nothing
  thinking. It will calm the inner rebel and also
  UnFollow that “in order to be great humans, we must
  be healed” false narrative.
  
  

More of us talking about what we are healing, and why, is
how we collectively change and encourage others. Through
bravery and belief, not shame and perfectionism.

It is only by living we truly heal!

So, let’s live, lassies and lads, and show our imperfect
selves as we do it.
