35. Breaking the Cycle: Navigating Family Triggers & Healing Generational Wounds

Ram Dass famously said, "If you think you're enlightened, go spend a week with your family." If you're on a journey of personal growth and healing, you know how true this is. Spending time with family can be beautiful, but it can also be one of the most triggering experiences, leaving you feeling exhausted and misunderstood.

Fresh off of two weeks with her own family, Dr. Jenny gets raw about the challenges of being the "cycle breaker." In this episode, she dives into why family dynamics can feel so heavy, especially when you're the one doing "the work." She shares powerful insights on how to use inner child work to cultivate compassion (for them and for you), set boundaries that stick, and lead by example without taking on the burden of "fixing" everyone.

This episode is a guide for navigating your family with more grace, protecting your peace, and honoring your own evolution, even when they don't understand it.
