I’m fascinated by the idea that there is a deeper connection between all of us than we can see. Our illusion that we are solitary can lead to a lot of pain … and it can also lead us to romanticize that pain and maybe wallow in it in a way that can be unhealthy.

On today’s show, you’ll meet Judy Wilkins-Smith. She says that we are shaped by patterns handed down by our ancestors—invisible multi-generational patterns of thoughts, feelings, actions, reactions, and choices that limit our responses to events and influence every decision of our lives, unconsciously running the show … but that this doesn’t mean there’s nothing we can do to heal or change. Instead, she says, this truth can open a treasure chest of possibilities and growth.
