In this very first solo episode of my podcast, I am talking to my fellow cycle-breakers. Understanding the impacts of generational trauma on our parenting, helps to put things into perspective and focus on what we can actually change now.

My guest today is Jennifer Maroney. Jennifer has an incredible story of resiliency that began as a young child, witnessing family violence and being a survivor of sexual assault. At such a young age, with minimal coping strategies, she began to create a “secret life” which only led to poor boundaries, low self-worth and confidence, and disordered eating patterns. She began at an early age putting on various masks to try and hide from the pain of her life. A public success but a failure in privat...
