“When you start to look at your family system through the lens of energy, you can finally see what’s been hidden in plain sight.”
In this powerful episode, I sit down with family systems specialist and spiritual mentor Kat Daou to unravel the unseen ancestral patterns that shape our behavior, beliefs, and emotional responses—often without us even realizing it. Kat’s work is rooted in Family Constellation Therapy, and she brings such a grounded, insightful energy to this conversation.
We dive into what it really means to do ancestral healing—not just intellectually, but at the soul level—and how these energetic patterns are often inherited, buried, and playing out in the background of our lives. Kat shares how she began to uncover the deeper roots of her own story and how her sensitivity became a superpower in both her personal and professional journey.
If you've ever felt like you're carrying emotions or struggles that aren't fully yours, or noticed patterns repeating in your family no matter how much inner work you do, this conversation is going to land deeply. Healing ancestral trauma doesn’t require blame—it requires awareness, curiosity, and a willingness to feel what’s been unfelt for generations.
