Does chaos keep finding its way into your relationships? In this soul-stirring episode, Emilia and Alan explore how hidden wounds from our past, unhealed generational trauma, and toxic family dynamics can quietly weave tension into our closest relationships. Through raw stories, heartfelt reflection, and a metaphor that lingers long after listening, they help you trace the true origin of your relationship struggles. Discover how to name the patterns, reclaim your power, and set loving boundaries that make room for connection. Whether you’re in a relationship or preparing your heart for one, this is your invitation to choose peace over patterns and healing over history.
