Too often we get caught in wanting so many things from people but never want to do the work on teaching them how to provide those things. We can never teach them if we ourselves, don't know. Always remember to carry forgiveness in your heart, we're all human and the same way you can make mistakes that affect other people, those same people can make those same mistakes that end up affecting you...
Today we discuss the in and outs of breaking generational trauma in which I am joined by Kimberly Shannon Murphy to discuss her newly released book "Glimmer".
Generational trauma is the transference of traumatic experiences or stressors from one generation to the next. One of many types of trauma, it can happen through direct experience, witnessing violence, or living in an environment where violence is a constant threat.
Sorry for the short episode, I'm sick right now! But today we talk about taking on new paths and how putting yourself first is very important!
All to often we can get caught in what see on social media and wanted to achieve the very same dream as someone else while skipping over our own struggles and journey. We are all individuals and our path should be unique and never an imitation of someone else's. Live your truth in reality.
The best way to help a person who may be going a mental downside, is how we respond to them. Sometimes people want to feel important rather than being told they are & we all should value the mental health of our friends, family or even strangers. It's very important that we see everyone through the same lens when it comes to mental health, anyone on earth can go through any form of depression or mental illness. Love the people around you and show compassion to the strangers you encounter...

Sometimes we can get confused on what being weak versus what being vulnerable looks like. Often times we think of being vulnerable as being less than the next person and we as men think women won't love or respect that. It's ok to be sad in front of your family or friends or partner... In every style of relationship, emotional communication should always be 50/50, if your mother or brother or friend or spouse can come cry to you, you should be able to do the same. #ProtectYourMental
Values - We have been taught that double standards exist for a reason to protect one over the other when in reality we should be seeking to protect everyone equally. Teaching the youth and those around us that we should respect ourselves and those who have earned our respect. We should create a environment of valuing our fellow neighbor, as well as valuing ourselves...
Breakups happen everyday, whether that's losing a friend, a family member or breaking up with a ex. Dealing with those issues instead of letting them harbor in the back of your mind is very important. Remember, your past does not define your future.
