Maybe we'll do that part again.
I just act like I have a wholecrew over here.
All right.
But it, it's just me.
Anyways.
Anu Hernandez (00:13):
Hi everyone.
Welcome back.
It's nice to be here and bedoing this once again, welcome
again to the Systems ofTransformation podcast.
A podcast dedicated todiscussing the dynamics of
generational healing and globaltransformation through a trauma
informed lens and a Christianperspective.
I am your host, Anu Hernandez,and it is such an honor to be
(00:39):
doing episode two today.
I hope you have been doing well,and if this is your first time,
welcome.
I really wanna thank those ofyou who listened to episode one,
who downloaded the podcast.
I am so encouraged and sograteful to all of you for
(00:59):
taking time and sending me yourfeedback after listening to
episode one.
It is such an honor to have youjoin me again today as we look
into what I'm going to call'TheTriad of Systems'.
Before we jump into the triad, Iwanted to talk a little bit
(01:20):
about what a system is.
A system can be defined as aregularly interacting or
interdependent group of itemsforming a unified whole which
means that there are parts to itand components but together the
work to form something whole.
The two things I wanted tohighlight was that a system has
(01:42):
regularly interactingcomponents, which tells us that
they are in relationship withone another.
And the second element is thatthey are interdependent, which
means that they're notindependent of each other.
There's some level of dependencyand need for one another.
(02:03):
And I really like that becausethat is a good description of a
healthy system.
What are the components of mytriad?
Number one, systems of origin.
Number two, systems ofcompensation and number three,
systems of transformation.
Today.
I want to get into what a systemof origin is and discuss that
(02:24):
with you.
And I'm hoping that if we get agood understanding of that, that
will build a good foundation forus to start exploring the next
two components.
A system of origin is a systemfrom which something begins or
gives rise to another.
For example, our family system,we all have a family of origin
(02:46):
where we came from, our parents,maybe siblings, extended family.
We have faith systems, educationsystems, communities, cultures,
organizations.
These are all examples ofsystems where things begin and
or give birth to something else.
Our origin is the foundationupon which the rest of our lives
(03:09):
get built on.
Every system of origin was oncea system of transformation.
At some point in time, what wenow might call an origin was the
next big thing, the new thingthat came up, or it was
something that was part of thenew generation.
And over time, this originevolved and made choices to
(03:33):
change or remain the same.
And depending on those choices,eventually became a system of
compensation or a system oftransformation.
The revolutions of today becomethe relics of tomorrow.
And I think we need to rememberthat and apply that when we're
(03:54):
talking about systemic change.
Not everything about our originsis bad or needs to be discarded.
At the same time.
Not everything about an originis good and needs to be carried
forward.
Every system, has wonderfulqualities about it that we need
to carry with us.
(04:15):
It's so easy to point ourfingers at a different
generation and say, we don'twant to be like them, or, we
don't wanna have anything to dowith them.
Anything that is not like us iseasier to reject, easier to push
away.
I think some of that comes fromour own internal struggle with
(04:36):
accepting parts of ourselvesthat we may not be proud of, or
that we might carry some shameand trauma and left over
baggage.
Again, it's so easy to projectthose things externally.
But they're the best signalsthat there are some things that
we need to work throughinternally.
(04:58):
I'm not saying we need to accepteverything.
But examine the places that wereact to.
And start looking at those spotsto figure out whether there is
some component of that that is areflection of what is going on
within us.
And whether there are parts ofourselves that we need to
(05:18):
forgive, reconcile, love andheal.
We need to take an honestinventory of our origins if we
want to heal and build for thebetter.
Every system of origin passes onits generational DNA.
Now DNA is not just a physicalcomponent that is passed through
(05:39):
from generation to generation.
Every system passes on some typeof generational DNA.
This includes mental, emotional,spiritual, relational,
organizational, and evencultural DNA that is passed on
from one generation to the next.
(05:59):
And in that generationalexchange, the things that are
not addressed in one generationevolves and mutates in the next
generation.
What doesn't get treated getstransmitted.
The next generation carriesforward the previous
generation's strengths and allthe things that they did well.
(06:22):
But it also expresses what theprevious generation denied to
address, refused to heal from,or did not have the luxury to
work through.
Some of the denial, some of thelack of being able to deal with
things are due to externalcircumstances for generations.
(06:45):
Maybe it was poverty, maybe itwas a lack of education or
awareness.
We do say that people are doingthe best that they can with what
they know and what they have,and that is true.
However, we also need tounderstand that things do get
passed along and we cannot livein that denial anymore.
(07:09):
There is a difference betweenblaming someone versus naming
cause and effect.
There is no shame when you'rejust naming something and
saying, this happened and itcaused this versus this
happened, and so you are a badperson, or I am a bad person.
We need to be able to openlydiscuss the positives and the
(07:32):
negatives of generationalexchange.
And that is why it is importantto do intergenerational healing
work.
Because when it comes togenerational pain, wounding, and
trauma, again, I'm not justtalking about physical wounding.
I'm talking about psychological,mental, emotional, relational,
and spiritual wounds that wecannot visibly see, but we all
(07:56):
embody through our life.
Our human brains are designed insuch a way that we remember
negative experiences much morevividly than positive ones
because we are wired for safetyand survival.
And so we register these thingsso that we can look out for them
in the future, and we developsensitivities and reactions just
(08:20):
to keep us safe so that we cansurvive and continue to exist
with minimal danger and pain.
Every time where there is aplace of wounding, there is a
greater chance that that painshows up whenever you encounter
a similar experience to thatwound of origin in your present
(08:41):
or future.
Your past doesn't just die ordisappear as you move through
life.
Your past, your origins are verymuch alive and dormant within
you.
And depending on the nature ofyour origin or the component of
your origin, it can lie hiddenlike a landmine until something
(09:05):
or someone steps on it in ourpresent day situations and
interactions and sets it off.
You will never just move on fromsomething.
You have to move through it.
I so disagree with statements,like, just get over it, get over
yourself, move on.
(09:27):
It bothers me because itencourages the perspective of I
just need to push this aside tokeep going forward and I will be
okay, when really we're justadding more and more to what
lies beneath.
And the danger of that is thatone harmless moment or one
(09:49):
harmless interaction uncoversyears and years of pent up pain
that our reactions are explosiveor we shut down completely and
we then begin to see how ourreactions are disproportionate
from the situations that we arecurrently dealing with.
(10:11):
And those are clues to us andshould be signals to us that
there's something deeper andquite possibly darker going on
underneath what we are currentlyexperiencing.
With a change in perspective,which comes from taking that
journey of healing, somethingthat seemed to be bad, can give
(10:35):
rise to beautiful andtransformative lessons.
And in no way do I wannadiminish the pain and the scar
tissue that negative experiencesleave.
I just want to recognize thatmany of the things that come at
us disguised in negativedarkness when moved through with
(11:01):
healing and love, transform intosome of the most beautiful life
lessons that we can carry withus.
How do I know if I have woundsof origin?
It's simple.
If you are a human, you havethem.
And I am focusing on you as anindividual being because the
(11:22):
human is the DNA strand ofhumanity.
We all have wounds of origin.
If you are raised by anotherhuman, and lived life in contact
with other human beings, thenyou have wounds of origin And
that doesn't make the peoplethat were involved in our origin
stories bad people, but it isjust the natural outcome of life
(11:47):
lived amongst humanity.
Unless we were raised in afamily where our primary
caretakers actively investigatedtheir own wounds of origin.
and submitted themselves tomental and emotional healing
practices like counseling ortherapy, inner healing, maybe
(12:07):
faith-based guidance practices,we are bound to carry the wounds
of our origin stories and traumahistories that run in our
bloodlines.
I am not just a representationof my parents and myself.
I today embody little pieces ofeverybody from the beginning of
(12:32):
my bloodline.
Our ancestors have fought tomake sure we are safe, provide
us economic advancements andeducation.
And because those primary needshave been met to a certain
extent, we are now at a point inour generational lines where we
are able to find the energy andthe space to invest in the next
(12:57):
level of evolving towardshealth, which is addressing our
mental and emotional needs.
As a global community, we havedeveloped to a place where we
are able to at least addresssome of these things.
And so that is where mygratitude to past generations
comes in.
I will never dismiss theircontribution to our journey, to
(13:21):
my journey.
Let's make it personal.
What we cannot do is deny thatwe have work to do.
The responsibility to bepioneers of this movement falls
on those of us who have had ourbasic needs met in terms of
physical safety.
(13:42):
I use the word trauma a lot andbecause it is the nature of work
that I do, it is my normal inthe sense of I am in it every
day.
That's the nature of my job, andI realize that I should probably
explain a little bit of whattrauma is, because we're gonna
(14:02):
be using that word a lot.
Trauma is not only defined by amajor catastrophic disturbing
event.
Trauma is not the event itself,it is how our mind and body
interpret the event.
The same events may be traumaticfor some people more than
others.
Regardless, all trauma is valid.
(14:25):
When we begin conversationsaround trauma, the first thing
we think about is big things.
Big T traumas are major eventsand normally seen as traumatic.
This include natural disasters,war, sexual or physical assault,
accidents, death, of loved ones,major surgery, life-threatening
(14:50):
illnesses, emotional neglect orabuse.
The last few years have exposedus as a global community to some
big T traumas, like thepandemic, the racial issues that
we've been having, naturaldisasters, wars.
The different things that aregoing on around us.
They are pretty major.
(15:12):
My list of exposure to Big Ttraumas has grown even in the
last few years.
And again, trauma is not theevent in itself, but it's how we
register and process and absorbit.
Small T traumas areoverwhelming, but often not seen
or recognized as traumaticevents.
(15:33):
Some of these things areinterpersonal conflict,
financial worries, moving,adoption, miscarriage, divorce,
infidelity, birthing, andchronic mental or physical
illnesses.
And when one thing is added onthe other, at some point your
(15:56):
capacity to cope is going todiminish.
I know I've given you guys a lotof information today.
And I know that some of thesethings might be heavy, but we
gotta have the conversation andif you start to sense things
coming up, especially if thelist that I read or the talk of
(16:20):
wounding in origin stirs up somethings for you, I will always
encourage you to reach out forhelp and support from trained
professionals, so please dothat.
Reach out to someone and reallytake the time to give yourself
that best chance of healing andtransformation by investing in
(16:44):
you and taking care of you.
God's heart is for people onthis earth to experience His
love, His healing power and theability to live this transformed
life and experience heaven onearth.
And so all this work that we aredoing as we receive the
(17:06):
blueprint from Him, isultimately going to benefit not
only us, but all those aroundus.
I would like to share a few ofmy favorite verses from the
Bible.
This is taken from MatthewChapter 22, Verses 37 to 40.
And this is from The Messageversion.
(17:28):
Jesus said.,"Love the Lord, yourGod, with all your passion and
prayer and intelligence.
This is the most important andfirst on any list.
But there is a second to setalongside it.
Love others, as well as yourlove yourself".
The majority of us can agreethat in faith communities the
(17:51):
two components of that passagethat are emphasized most often,
are loving God and lovingothers.
And somehow we have neglectedthat middle portion that says
you have to love others the wayyou love yourself.
We are taught to love God andlove others by neglecting
(18:12):
ourselves.
And the only way you're going totruly, truly learn to love
yourself is if you learn toreceive, God's love for you.
Because it is infinitely more incapacity than what you can give
yourself.
I have failed so many times inmy life, even today.
(18:34):
I cannot conjure up thiscontinuous, overflowing love for
myself.
And there is no human being inthis world that can constantly
give me that type of love.
Only God has been able to loveme so much and so consistently,
that I have wanted to transform.
You are not selfish.
(18:55):
You are actually following theheart of God when you choose to
take love from Him and apply itto yourself.
Because it is from that place ofoverflow, when you have His love
flowing through you and then youlove yourself too, that you're
able to then go and pour it outon other people.
(19:17):
I cannot wait for more episodesto get deeper into some of this
stuff but for today, I justwanted to share that little
tidbit.
Okay.
My healers and transformers, Ithink we have covered a lot
today.
So how about we call it a dayand get together again in a
couple of weeks?
(19:38):
We'll continue with our nextsystem in the next episode.
We'll take this as it comes.
There's no hurry, no pressure.
I'm okay with a pace that honorsour process.
I encourage you to take time, toprocess and reflect on some of
(19:59):
the things we talked abouttoday.
Journal if you like to.
Connect with somebody.
And if you have any thoughts,emotions, questions come up,
please let me know or talk tosomebody you trust.
Reach out to me, connect withme, send me questions, your
(20:20):
comments, concerns, anythingthat you want to share with me,
feel free to.
I'm open to being there andsupporting you as much as I can,
and if there are any resources Icould share with you on a
one-on-one basis, I would loveto do that.
Once again, if you would like toconnect with me, please do.
(20:43):
I am on Instagram attherealanuhernandez.
I am on Facebook at AnuHernandez and my email is

I hope you are enjoying this.
I hope this is beneficial.
If this podcast is adding sometype of value to your journey,
(21:05):
if it is helping you processsome things and know that you
are not alone, please share thispodcast with others.
I really want this to get intothe hands of people that need
it.
And so if you know someone thatone is interested in this kind
of stuff, we, I also don'tbelieve in force feeding people
(21:26):
and pushing things down people'sthroat, like that does not
communicate respect to me.
But at any point, if you comeacross somebody that you think
would benefit and enjoy frombeing a part of this journey
with us, please do share withthem.

let's heal generational andtransform global.
Bye.
Maybe we'll do that part again.
I just act like I have a wholecrew over here.
All right.
But it, it's just me.
Anyways.
Anu Hernandez (00:13):
Hi everyone.
Welcome back.
It's nice to be here and bedoing this once again, welcome
again to the Systems ofTransformation podcast.
A podcast dedicated todiscussing the dynamics of
generational healing and globaltransformation through a trauma
informed lens and a Christianperspective.
I am your host, Anu Hernandez,and it is such an honor to be
(00:39):
doing episode two today.
I hope you have been doing well,and if this is your first time,
welcome.
I really wanna thank those ofyou who listened to episode one,
who downloaded the podcast.
I am so encouraged and sograteful to all of you for
(00:59):
taking time and sending me yourfeedback after listening to
episode one.
It is such an honor to have youjoin me again today as we look
into what I'm going to call'TheTriad of Systems'.
Before we jump into the triad, Iwanted to talk a little bit
(01:20):
about what a system is.
A system can be defined as aregularly interacting or
interdependent group of itemsforming a unified whole which
means that there are parts to itand components but together the
work to form something whole.
The two things I wanted tohighlight was that a system has
(01:42):
regularly interactingcomponents, which tells us that
they are in relationship withone another.
And the second element is thatthey are interdependent, which
means that they're notindependent of each other.
There's some level of dependencyand need for one another.
(02:03):
And I really like that becausethat is a good description of a
healthy system.
What are the components of mytriad?
Number one, systems of origin.
Number two, systems ofcompensation and number three,
systems of transformation.
Today.
I want to get into what a systemof origin is and discuss that
(02:24):
with you.
And I'm hoping that if we get agood understanding of that, that
will build a good foundation forus to start exploring the next
two components.
A system of origin is a systemfrom which something begins or
gives rise to another.
For example, our family system,we all have a family of origin
(02:46):
where we came from, our parents,maybe siblings, extended family.
We have faith systems, educationsystems, communities, cultures,
organizations.
These are all examples ofsystems where things begin and
or give birth to something else.
Our origin is the foundationupon which the rest of our lives
(03:09):
get built on.
Every system of origin was oncea system of transformation.
At some point in time, what wenow might call an origin was the
next big thing, the new thingthat came up, or it was
something that was part of thenew generation.
And over time, this originevolved and made choices to
(03:33):
change or remain the same.
And depending on those choices,eventually became a system of
compensation or a system oftransformation.
The revolutions of today becomethe relics of tomorrow.
And I think we need to rememberthat and apply that when we're
(03:54):
talking about systemic change.
Not everything about our originsis bad or needs to be discarded.
At the same time.
Not everything about an originis good and needs to be carried
forward.
Every system, has wonderfulqualities about it that we need
to carry with us.
(04:15):
It's so easy to point ourfingers at a different
generation and say, we don'twant to be like them, or, we
don't wanna have anything to dowith them.
Anything that is not like us iseasier to reject, easier to push
away.
I think some of that comes fromour own internal struggle with
(04:36):
accepting parts of ourselvesthat we may not be proud of, or
that we might carry some shameand trauma and left over
baggage.
Again, it's so easy to projectthose things externally.
But they're the best signalsthat there are some things that
we need to work throughinternally.
(04:58):
I'm not saying we need to accepteverything.
But examine the places that wereact to.
And start looking at those spotsto figure out whether there is
some component of that that is areflection of what is going on
within us.
And whether there are parts ofourselves that we need to
(05:18):
forgive, reconcile, love andheal.
We need to take an honestinventory of our origins if we
want to heal and build for thebetter.
Every system of origin passes onits generational DNA.
Now DNA is not just a physicalcomponent that is passed through
(05:39):
from generation to generation.
Every system passes on some typeof generational DNA.
This includes mental, emotional,spiritual, relational,
organizational, and evencultural DNA that is passed on
from one generation to the next.
(05:59):
And in that generationalexchange, the things that are
not addressed in one generationevolves and mutates in the next
generation.
What doesn't get treated getstransmitted.
The next generation carriesforward the previous
generation's strengths and allthe things that they did well.
(06:22):
But it also expresses what theprevious generation denied to
address, refused to heal from,or did not have the luxury to
work through.
Some of the denial, some of thelack of being able to deal with
things are due to externalcircumstances for generations.
(06:45):
Maybe it was poverty, maybe itwas a lack of education or
awareness.
We do say that people are doingthe best that they can with what
they know and what they have,and that is true.
However, we also need tounderstand that things do get
passed along and we cannot livein that denial anymore.
(07:09):
There is a difference betweenblaming someone versus naming
cause and effect.
There is no shame when you'rejust naming something and
saying, this happened and itcaused this versus this
happened, and so you are a badperson, or I am a bad person.
We need to be able to openlydiscuss the positives and the
(07:32):
negatives of generationalexchange.
And that is why it is importantto do intergenerational healing
work.
Because when it comes togenerational pain, wounding, and
trauma, again, I'm not justtalking about physical wounding.
I'm talking about psychological,mental, emotional, relational,
and spiritual wounds that wecannot visibly see, but we all
(07:56):

And depending on the nature ofyour origin or the component of
your origin, it can lie hiddenlike a landmine until something

interactions and sets it off.
You will never just move on fromsomething.
You have to move through it.
I so disagree with statements,like, just get over it, get over
yourself, move on.
(09:27):
It bothers me because itencourages the perspective of I

(10:11):
And those are clues to us andshould be signals to us that

With a change in perspective,which comes from taking that

financial worries, moving,adoption, miscarriage, divorce,
infidelity, birthing, andchronic mental or physical
illnesses.
And when one thing is added onthe other, at some point your
(15:56):
capacity to cope is going todiminish.
I know I've given you guys a lotof information today.
And I know that some of thesethings might be heavy, but we
gotta have the conversation andif you start to sense things
coming up, especially if thelist that I read or the talk of
(16:20):
wounding in origin stirs up somethings for you, I will always
encourage you to reach out forhelp and support from trained
professionals, so please dothat.
Reach out to someone and reallytake the time to give yourself
that best chance of healing andtransformation by investing in
(16:44):
you and taking care of you.
God's heart is for people onthis earth to experience His
love, His healing power and theability to live this transformed
life and experience heaven onearth.
And so all this work that we aredoing as we receive the
(17:06):
blueprint from Him, isultimately going to benefit not
only us, but all those aroundus.
I would like to share a few ofmy favorite verses from the
Bible.
This is taken from MatthewChapter 22, Verses 37 to 40.
And this is from The Messageversion.
(17:28):
Jesus said.,"Love the Lord, yourGod, with all your passion and
prayer and intelligence.
This is the most important andfirst on any list.
But there is a second to setalongside it.
Love others, as well as yourlove yourself".
The majority of us can agreethat in faith communities the
(17:51):
two components of that passagethat are emphasized most often,
are loving God and lovingothers.
And somehow we have neglectedthat middle portion that says
you have to love others the wayyou love yourself.
We are taught to love God andlove others by neglecting
(18:12):
ourselves.
And the only way you're going totruly, truly learn to love
yourself is if you learn toreceive, God's love for you.
Because it is infinitely more incapacity than what you can give
yourself.
I have failed so many times inmy life, even today.
(18:34):
I cannot conjure up thiscontinuous, overflowing love for
myself.
And there is no human being inthis world that can constantly
give me that type of love.
Only God has been able to loveme so much and so consistently,
that I have wanted to transform.
You are not selfish.
(18:55):
You are actually following theheart of God when you choose to
take love from Him and apply itto yourself.
Because it is from that place ofoverflow, when you have His love
flowing through you and then youlove yourself too, that you're
able to then go and pour it outon other people.
(19:17):
I cannot wait for more episodesto get deeper into some of this
stuff but for today, I justwanted to share that little
tidbit.
Okay.
My healers and transformers, Ithink we have covered a lot
today.
So how about we call it a dayand get together again in a
couple of weeks?
(19:38):
We'll continue with our nextsystem in the next episode.
We'll take this as it comes.
There's no hurry, no pressure.
I'm okay with a pace that honorsour process.
I encourage you to take time, toprocess and reflect on some of
(19:59):
the things we talked abouttoday.
Journal if you like to.
Connect with somebody.
And if you have any thoughts,emotions, questions come up,
please let me know or talk tosomebody you trust.
Reach out to me, connect withme, send me questions, your
(20:20):
comments, concerns, anythingthat you want to share with me,
feel free to.
I'm open to being there andsupporting you as much as I can,
and if there are any resources Icould share with you on a
one-on-one basis, I would loveto do that.
Once again, if you would like toconnect with me, please do.

(21:05):
if it is helping you processsome things and know that you
are not alone, please share thispodcast with others.
I really want this to get intothe hands of people that need
it.
And so if you know someone thatone is interested in this kind
of stuff, we, I also don'tbelieve in force feeding people
(21:26):
and pushing things down people'sthroat, like that does not
communicate respect to me.
But at any point, if you comeacross somebody that you think
would benefit and enjoy frombeing a part of this journey
