How to Break Generational Curses and Enjoy the Journey

Sam France’s childhood was chaotic. But her parents didn’t get a guidebook for raising little Sam, so they were left to learn on the job, basing their decisions on their childhoods. 

Sam’s daughter was also born without a guidebook. Go figure. 

Sam realized there had been a generational curse handed down through her family and felt determined to create a new guidebook. 

In this episode, we walk through each chapter of her daughter’s life from birth to college to understand how Sam broke this generational curse and the influences that shaped the parent she’s become – one who enjoys the journey. 

Parenting is work. All relationships are. They take patience and attention. On the surface, this episode is about parenting, but really it’s about how to be our best in the relationships that matter most.

You’ll learn:

[00:15:00] How to find peace during transitional stages

[00:17:15] How to be responsive instead of reactive when we are triggered **Spoiler alert: Other people’s responses are not about you.**

[00:20:00] How to create open pathways for growth conversations when emotions run high

[00:28:00] Bonus! This episode also includes a meditation at the end, so carve out 3 minutes to breathe, reflect, and honor your vital feelings and needs.
