Breaking Intergenerational Trauma For Your Legacy with Raquel G.

Unrecognized emotional abuse from childhood can last for years into adulthood, especially when that behavior felt harmful but wasn’t understood, the experience wasn't validated or there wasn't language to process it. Not having the words, frameworks (education) or community to 'name' or 'interpret' neglect or narcissistic dynamics can lead to confusion and self-doubt for decades. Most humans aren't sure where to start in the internalized conflicts, as they struggle to reconcile deep love for a parent with the need to set boundaries and protect their own mental health. So what happens when there's the risk of repeating generational patterns in parenting and passing on emotional wounds? In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Raquel G., author of 'This Is Not My Mother', about healing from the lasting effects of growing up with an emotionally distant and narcissistic parent. They explore why toxic family dynamics are often created before we are born and how societal expectations can obscure emotional harm. Tune in to hear the value of self-care with one's heart when building a meaningful legacy - ultimately, this episode is a powerful reminder that one of the greatest legacies we can leave is authenticity, peace, and the courage to break generational curses.Visit www.authorraquelg.com to buy your copy where you’ll get 10% off - also on Amazon.-At Legacy Planning©, we work with 'rising gen' entrepreneurs, wealth creators, and family stewards who are ready to turn their success into lasting contribution.
