We all have baggage. When we grow up in our families and our parents, our caregivers, send us

off into the world, they do so with a set of inheritances that we may or may not know. We're

even carrying core beliefs, inner programming, ways of relating to other people, some of which serve us very well,

others don't.

And on today's show, we're talking about how to identify this generational patterns, keep the ones

that are serving you, get rid of the ones that don't, so you can

put down the baggage and move forward with newfound freedom.

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

stopping old generational patterns, it's like

closing one door and then looking ahead to the next because new things are possible for all of us

when we do this really important growth work. You can learn more about Bleached, see what they're up to

on their bandcamp page, bleached.bancamp.com.

So let's just dive right into this.

As I mentioned in the beginning, we all do this.

You can't not because we all are the product of early life experiences.

We are all forged in the furnaces of wherever we came from, right?

And there can be so many good and positive things that come to all of us from these experiences.

The way our parents or extended families or caregivers did things shaped who we became as people. And again,

there could be so many good things associated with that. I think that it can be wise and also

really valuable sometimes to reflect on the positive intergenerational patterns that can come to us from that. It might be generosity,

a good sense of humor, being responsive or loving, maybe it's just being a really good cook.

Like that can be a thing, am I right? Being good with money. I mean, like there's so much stuff.
