Heal Family Trauma: Mothers, Forgiveness, and Self-Empowerment with Blanca E. Rodriguez
Ready for some real talk about family drama?
Buckle up, buttercup!
In this episode, we're diving deep into the mother of all wounds (pun intended) with the amazing Blanca E. Rodriguez. From Puerto Rican family trauma to untangling the knots of mother-daughter relationships, we're serving up a raw, real, and surprisingly hilarious journey through generational trauma, self-sabotage, mother wounds and becoming your hero.
In this episode, we chat about:
- The mother wound: What it is and why it's such a big freakin' deal
- Breaking the cycle of generational trauma (spoiler: it's possible!)
- How to parent without turning your kids' future therapy sessions into a full-time job
- The power of forgiveness (even when it feels impossible)
- Setting boundaries with family members (because "blood" isn't a free pass to be an asshole)
- Embracing your identity beyond the role of "daughter" or "son".
"You're not your parents' property. You're your own person.
Blanca E. Rodriguez
Key takeaways:

- Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or allowing harmful behaviour to continue.
- Self-empowerment comes from setting boundaries and prioritizing your own growth.
- It's never too late to change the narrative and create healthier relationships.
