In part one of this conversation, Eddie tells his story from being an abused foster kid to a father who broke the cycle of trauma in his family, explains why trauma is often repeated, and tells us what it takes to build a trauma-free home. This isn’t out of reach—Eddie did it, and so can you. Hit play to hear meaningful insights, gain practical advice, and to start breaking the cycle of trauma in your family today.💬Get In Touch:Send Us A [email protected]🚨Need More Resources?👉Visit Our Website👉Check Out Our Socials: @speakupforkids👉Are You Local To Palm Beach?
