Transforming Pain Into Generational Healing

Processing past experiences is important because you can hurt others along the way if you have not healed.

In this episode, Veronica Rivera shares with us her struggles with accepting some of the hurt that she experienced in her life, like losing her father at an early age and using alcohol as a means to numb the loneliness and pain. Veronica explains how holding onto painful emotions for 40 years of her life affected not only herself but also the relationship with her mother, sisters, and children. She talks about the need to take time for ourselves to find what is hurting us, or what we are trying to get away from, and not trying to mask it. Veronica also talks about some of the beautiful intentional conversations she has had with her children that really show the power of intergenerational healing and its impact on healthy parenting.

Veronica encourages parents who find it hard to TALK to their kids to instead WRITE to their kids, and that when you find it hard to say “I love you”, write it, and share it with them.
