EP66 The Role of Epigenetics in Generational Trauma Transmission The Radical Mother Village with Christa Bevan

    • Parenting

In this solo show I’m discussing one of the pathways for generational trauma to be transmitted: through epigenetic changes.  We’ll look at how traumatic events that happened long before we were even conceived can impact our current lives on a mental/emotional and physical level.  
In this episode you'll learn:


An introduction to epigenetics and the role it plays in our trauma history storyThe physical and mental impact of epigenetic changes on your overall health and well-beingTwo animal studies that show how both risk and resilience are capable of being handed down through epigenetic mechanismsThe impact of the Holocaust, Dutch Hunger Winter and 9/11 on the descendants of the survivorsHow epigenetic studies should inspire you to keep doing the incredible work of cycle breaking and conscious parenting

A radical mother is a woman poised in her power ready to disrupt cycles of generational trauma running through her family like wildfire. She's working to improve her life, the lives of her children, and shape the landscape of her community. If that's you - you're in the right place. 


This podcast is designed to connect you with resources, inspiration, and the reminder that you are not alone as you embark on your journey of radical mothering.


I’m your host Christa Bevan and I’m a nervous system educator for cycle breaker moms as well as a certified TRE (trauma releasing exercises) provider, and a trauma-informed yoga instructor. And of course, a fellow Radical Mother. My approach to this work blends neuroscience backed tools and heart-centered intuition.
