S2E45: Unconscious Inheritance: A Mother-Daughter Conversation on Generational Trauma & Forgiveness

Friends,

In this episode, my adult daughter, Ashlene Silva Dybus, and I talk about what it was like for her to grow up with me — a mother still learning to heal from the effects of Complex PTSD, and how we’ve both come to see the ways trauma quietly travels through generations.

Together, we explore how awareness, compassion, and forgiveness are helping us reshape our family story, one revelation at a time.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How trauma shows up in parent–child relationships

• Seeing family patterns with fresh understanding

• The impact of unhealed pain on parenting

• The power of forgiveness in breaking generational cycles

• How generational values impact adult-child-parent relationships

If you’ve ever wondered how to mend the past or make peace with where you come from, this conversation is for you.
