What if your healing isn’t about breaking cycles but repairing them?

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I introduce the concept of Legacy Repair and what it means to become a NeuroHeir—someone who consciously tends to their nervous system inheritance.

Through my own story of rediscovering my late father’s journals and powerful research on intergenerational trauma, I explore how silence, survival, and family patterns shape the way we live, love, and connect today.

You’ll learn:

• What it means to become a NeuroHeir and practice legacy repair
• How the NeuroHeir Survival Map explains inherited protection states
• Why compassion not distance is key to generational healing
• What Polish WWII research reveals about silence and the body
• How the 4 Ns (Notice, Name, Nurture, Navigate) create conscious repair

This episode isn’t about fixing the past—it’s about integrating its truth so your body can finally rest. Whether you’re the first in your family to seek change or simply curious about how your lineage lives in you, this conversation will help you begin the gentle work of repair.

🎧 Tune in and discover how to move from breaking to repairing—one compassionate breath at a time.
