Hey friend! I cannot wait for you to hear this deeply meaningful conversation with my dear friend and powerhouse guest, Gina Birkemeier. In this episode, we explore the idea that just because something’s been passed down through generations—like trauma, dysfunction, or limiting beliefs—doesn’t mean you have to keep it. 🙌   Gina and I talk about the patterns and emotional narratives we inherit from our families (even before we’re born!) and how those legacy burdens quietly shape the way we see ourselves, others, and even God. We unpack what it looks like to do the inner work, confront regret, rewrite inherited stories, and offer ourselves—and others—grace through the process.   Gina also shares her personal story of breaking generational cycles in her own life and how that transformation fueled her mission to help others do the same. Whether you’re deep in your healing journey or just beginning to wonder “Where did this come from?”—this episode will help you connect the dots with compassion and curiosity.   About Gina Birkemeier: Gina is a Licensed Professional Counselor, award-winning author, international speaker, and current PhD student at Regent University. She holds a Master’s in Counseling and Theology, and has advanced training in trauma and evidence-based therapies. A survivor of generational dysfunction herself, Gina’s work is rooted in both faith (as a healthy relationship with God) and the sciences—especially psychology, biology, and epigenetics. She’s walked with the hurting toward hope and healing for nearly two decades.   ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned: 📘 Generations Deep Book: Buy on Amazon 📓 Generations Deep Workbook: Buy on Amazon 💻 Support Groups & More: ginabirkemeier.com/resources   🔥 Leave a Review & Sign up for the free TDAH!
