Generational Healing: Becoming the Mom You Needed :: Melanie Shankle [Ep 508]

Have you struggled to break free from generational trauma or sin? Do you find it challenging to help your kids navigate tough situations at school and in sports?

Today, author Melanie Shankle joins us to share insights from her new book, Here Be Dragons. Her story is one of both deep trauma and undeniable evidence of God’s provision—placing the right people in her life at just the right time. It wasn’t until college that Melanie realized her mother-daughter relationship was far from what her friends experienced. That realization set her on a long journey of untangling her past and healing from the wounds of her upbringing.

In this conversation, we cover so many important topics, including:

  • The meaning behind Here Be Dragons
  • Mean girls, motherhood, and generational trauma
  • How to become spiritually and emotionally healthy to break toxic cycles
  • What it looks like to set boundaries or cut off a parent as an adult
  • How to recognize when a closed door in your child’s life is actually God's protection

Join us for an honest, insightful discussion on healing, parenting, and trusting God through life’s toughest moments.
