Summary
We all inherit some baggage from our families of origin — and often, we don't even realize we're carrying it! On today's episode, I'm talking about how you can explore the intergenerational cycles that may be holding you back, and then make some intentional choices about what you want to keep, and what you want to leave behind.
Breaking generational cycles is a self-affirming process. It frees you from ways of thinking and behaving that may have felt like "just the way things are," and allows you to become who you truly are at your core. And if you're parent, breaking generational cycles can be even more important, because it spares your kids from inheriting the junk that's weighing you down.
Tune in to learn all about how this works, including:
- 06:35 What Are Intergenerational Patterns?
- 09:49 Recognizing Your Patterns and Making Changes
- 21:22 Getting Help with Deeply Engrained Patterns
- 25:30 Emotional Intelligence and Generational Cycles
- 32:06 The Value of Structured Emotional Intelligence Work

| 0:00.0 | We all have baggage. When we grow up in our families and our parents, our caregivers, send us |
| 0:08.1 | off into the world, they do so with a set of inheritances that we may or may not know. We're |
| 0:14.9 | even carrying core beliefs, inner programming, ways of relating to other people, some of which serve us very well, |
| 0:25.5 | others don't. |
| 0:27.1 | And on today's show, we're talking about how to identify this generational patterns, keep the ones |
| 0:35.6 | that are serving you, get rid of the ones that don't, so you can |
| 0:39.1 | put down the baggage and move forward with newfound freedom. |
| 1:04.0 | Friends, we're listening to the band bleached the song is next stop i chose this one for us not just because it's a great song but i think it kind of embodies that like the work that we do when we're |
| 1:09.4 | stopping old generational patterns, it's like |
| 1:13.4 | closing one door and then looking ahead to the next because new things are possible for all of us |
| 1:19.7 | when we do this really important growth work. You can learn more about Bleached, see what they're up to |

| 1:42.4 | We are all forged in the furnaces of wherever we came from, right? |
| 1:48.4 | And there can be so many good and positive things that come to all of us from these experiences. |
| 1:55.2 | The way our parents or extended families or caregivers did things shaped who we became as people. And again, |
| 2:05.0 | there could be so many good things associated with that. I think that it can be wise and also |
| 2:11.2 | really valuable sometimes to reflect on the positive intergenerational patterns that can come to us from that. It might be generosity, |
| 2:22.8 | a good sense of humor, being responsive or loving, maybe it's just being a really good cook. |
