In this raw and unfiltered episode of Tray of Truths, I dig into the generational codes we inherit—those silent rules and stigmas that shape how we love, trust, and make decisions. From wearing armor to protect ourselves, to craving love we never received at home, I break down how pain gets passed down and why it’s up to us to stop carrying weight that was never meant to be ours.
I share my own journey of learning to let go of “how I was raised” in order to find authenticity, balance, and freedom. This episode is about shifting from survival mode to growth, about knowing when to guard your heart and when to risk it, and about creating your own blueprint instead of living inside someone else’s.
🎯 If you’ve ever felt stuck repeating patterns that don’t serve you, this conversation is your wake-up call to put down the armor, face the pain, and finally start living your life for you.
