Description
What if the patterns you’re trying so hard to change didn’t start with you — but they can end with you?
In this powerful, heart-opening conversation, I’m joined by Alyssa Scarano, LPC, NCC, founder of The Collective Therapy & Wellness and a deeply compassionate guide for anyone navigating the terrain of trauma, relationships, and emotional healing.
Together, we explore the tender, transformative work of breaking generational cycles — the subtle ways childhood wounds shape our relationships, the urge to overexplain in order to feel understood, and the craving for validation that so many high-achieving women silently carry.
Alyssa beautifully unpacks how environments that didn’t feel emotionally safe can echo into adulthood, influencing how you parent, communicate, and relate to yourself. We talk about the difference between fear and intuition, how to listen to your body instead of just your thoughts, and why pain often becomes the invitation to rise into a new chapter of self-trust.
You’ll hear us dive into:
- Generational patterns passed down through silence, survival, or emotional chaos
- The longing to feel seen, and what happens when you stop overexplaining and start honoring your truth
- Reparenting yourself while parenting your kids
- Trauma-informed ways to rebuild safety in your own body
- What it really looks like to cultivate relationships that feel aligned, not draining
This episode is an invitation to soften into your own healing, rewrite what love looks like, and become the cycle breaker your lineage has been waiting for.
If you’re ready to step into a life rooted in self-trust, emotional safety, and authentic connection — this one will land deeply.
