Rewriting Old Family Narratives
Breaking Generational Patterns During the Holidays
The holidays can feel like time travel — suddenly you’re not your current healed self… you’re 14 again, sitting at the table absorbing everyone’s moods.
This is why emotional patterns show up so strongly during this season.
Roles like:
the fixer
the peacemaker
the invisible one
the over-giver
the “responsible child”
the emotional sponge
…all tend to make a special holiday comeback.
But here’s the empowering truth:
You don’t have to reenact old emotional roles this year.
You can be the first person in your family line to choose emotional health.
The first one to speak kindly to yourself.
The first one to pause instead of react.
The first one to not carry everyone’s emotional weight.
The first one to choose healing over habit.
Breaking generational patterns doesn’t always require dramatic confrontations. Sometimes it looks like:
✨ Holding your boundary calmly
✨ Not taking the bait during conflict
✨ Refusing to abandon yourself to keep the peace
✨ Letting others own their emotions
✨ Showing up as your current self — not your childhood self
Every time you choose differently, you change the story. You create a new model of emotional health for yourself, your children, and even generations to come.
You are rewriting narratives that have been repeated for decades — maybe even longer.
And that is sacred work.
If you’re ready to break old patterns and build new emotional foundations, I would love to walk beside you. Book a session and let’s break cycles together — gently, intentionally, and powerfully.
