| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here. And today we are finishing up our week-long |
| 0:16.8 | discussion about intergenerational trauma by ending the week and the discussion on joy. |
| 0:23.7 | And this episode is all about how to build a joyful legacy, how to rewrite your narrative, |
| 0:32.3 | your familial narrative in a way that brings you joy and peace and healing versus dwelling on negative patterns, |
| 0:43.1 | or as we talked about earlier in the week, generational curses, which, you know, |
| 0:47.8 | I personally don't love that phrasing. |
| 0:50.8 | We have spent the last two episodes talking about what intergenerational trauma is, how it manifests, and then how to begin to start the healing process. |
| 1:02.2 | By no means this is the first or the last time we're going to talk about it. |
| 1:06.2 | In fact, I'm going to be actively looking for guests that can really talk about healing intergenerational |
| 1:12.1 | trauma. But it's a start. And always, why do we do the work that we're doing? Why am I pushing for |
| 1:20.6 | us to talk about intergenerational trauma? Because this podcast is about breaking cycles, healing, and joy. And so this is what I want our episode |
| 1:31.7 | to be about. How do we find joy in family legacy? How do we create healthy dynamics with our |
| 1:39.7 | loved ones? Many of us, particularly as you get older, you find this stage of your life where you start |
| 1:47.8 | exploring, what does my family mean? What is my family about? What patterns do I see played out for the |
| 1:54.6 | negative? What things are in my family that go unspoken. I'm going to do upcoming episodes about silence in |
| 2:04.4 | families and how that it erodes the relationship. But it's something that happens that we start |
| 2:11.5 | to become aware of, particularly when we start this work, this work of opting into joy, of healing, of breaking cycles, it becomes pretty |
| 2:22.4 | evident what patterns of behavior and what cycles may be still occurring all around you, |
| 2:28.5 | in your friends, we've talked about that before, but also in the people you may love the most, your family. |
| 2:37.0 | And while boundaries, and sometimes depending on how unhealthy the dynamic is, complete cutting off of family members, maybe the healthiest path for you, it's really important that we also still have access to joy. |
| 2:53.6 | That there is still a measure of joy in our family life, in the way we think about our family legacy, in the way that we present |
| 2:59.9 | our story. Our legacy cannot be intergenerational trauma. Our legacy cannot be pain and suffering and slavery and segregation |
