The Surprising Reasons Our Parents Behaved That Way | Ep.2

We’ve talked about how intergenerational trauma impacted us… but what about the generation that came before?In this second episode of Family Meeting, we sit down with a therapist and a pastor from the older generation to uncover the pressures, fears, and unhealed experiences that shaped their parenting. From survival during migration and poverty, to colonial legacies and religious expectations, we ask the tough but necessary question: what shaped them, and what do they wish they could have done differently?💭 In this episode: • The hidden wounds behind “tough love” • How faith, fear, and culture shaped parenting choices • Why emotional expression felt unsafe • What the older generation wants the younger ones to understand • Building bridges: how both sides can begin to healThis isn’t a blame game; it’s an invitation to empathy. By hearing their stories, we start to see how pain travels through generations, and how love can too.🎙️ Family Meeting - where wahala meets wisdom, and where healing happens between generations.#FamilyMeetingPodcast #AfricanFamilies #IntergenerationalHealing #BreakingTheCycle #ParentingAcrossGenerations #BlackBritishVoices #CulturalHealing
