Episode 54 - GenX Speaks Series: Denise Conde - The Valor of Generation X

In this episode we welcome Denise Conde, author of “The Valor of Generation X: How the Courageous Are Finding a New Path to Growth and Love”.  Denise graciously and candidly shares about her upbringing, where she suffered physical, mental, emotional and narcissistic abuse from both of her parents.  Denise shares about learning sign language in the darkness of the bedroom she shared with her sister who is deaf, as they communicated in silence about the fighting going on upstairs in their home.  After high school, Denise left home for college, and hence began her eight year journey of running from her parents all while working to get her bachelor's degree.  Marriage and motherhood followed, as did a fulfilling career as a special education teacher.  Divorce brought new changes, including finding love and marrying again.  After her father’s death ratcheted up her mother’s narcissistic abuse, Denise eventually made the decision to go no contact as she embarked on an incredible healing journey.  From that journey “The Valor of Generation X” was born, as well as a set of courses customized to coincide with the book.  The tools of healing Denise shares are invaluable, and she offers great insight as we discuss each one.  We learn about the importance of tailored meditation and how the nervous system is connected to our subconscious, which significantly contributes to how we are hard wired.  She offers concrete information to help someone in search of taking the first steps of their own healing journey, while never forgetting the importance of explaining the why.  We truly admire Denise for her strength, but also for her prioritization of peace and calm.  We were honored she was so open in sharing what was assuredly some of the most painful moments of her life.  We know this episode will resonate and be very helpful to many.Purchase "The Valor of Generation X" from Amazon Here:https://amzn.to/4aUJQTFCheck Denise Out Here:TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@valorofgenerationx?_t=ZP-8xYyTVti8pq&_r=1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/your.valor/?igsh=NW44aXJndTB0dTRw&utm_source=qr#  Check Us Out Here:https://www.genxadultingpodcast.com/#genx #genxtalks #over40 #over50 #marriage #divorce #narcissist #abusesurvivors #narcissism #narcissisticabuse #healing #meditation #soundbath #therapy #motherhood #college #specialeducation  #teacher #author #books #courage #childhood #deaf #signlanguage #asl #nocontact #boundaries #menopause #genz #millennials #forgiveness #somatichealing #nervoussystem #frequencyhealing #mentalhealth #generationxCheck us out at genxadulting.com#generationx #genx #podcast #marriage #relationship #interview #mom #family
