What's the difference between coping and healing? How has your home life and cultural background shaped your attitudes about work and wellbeing? Are we thriving or still surviving in less severe ways than our older generations did? Joining us to talk about intergenerational trauma, healing and wellbeing is none other than our wellness advocate and beloved day one, Joy! Listen in as we talk about some common myths about mental health, the presence of intergenerational trauma as well as the often less talked about intergenerational blessings that equally feed into who we are.

Join us as we talk about modern living, from the current crises of being employed and unhappy or unemployed and frustrated, to AI catfishing. Things might be scary, but we’re in this together!
