    Reclaiming Culture and Healing from Intergenerational Trauma with Dr. Gayl Crump Swaby

    In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Gayl Crump Swaby—Professor, author, therapist, and founder of New Generation Consultants—to explore what it truly means to reclaim our legacy by letting go of the emotional wounds and generational traumas that no longer serve us. Drawing from the themes in Dr. Swaby's books, this conversation dives into the impact of inherited pain, how it manifests in our lives, and what healing truly looks like for communities of color. Together, we talk about rewriting the narratives we've been given and choosing wholeness over survival. We tangibly discuss how generational trauma shows up in our lives, how we begin to let go of what we’ve inherited, and how we can redefine our culture and rewrite our story. Whether you're breaking cycles, healing silently, or searching for language around what you've been carrying, this episode is for you.
