Why Healing Trauma Makes Us Better Parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

Breaking generational trauma starts with our own healing—acknowledging past wounds, understanding their impact, and actively working to unlearn harmful patterns.

Instead of: “Why is my child behaving this way?” we’re able to stay present, grounded, and ask ourselves, “Why am I feeling so overwhelmed or triggered by this?”

There is a creative exercise that will help you not only find clues about your childhood and lifelong wounds and how they’ve affected you, but also understand how they’ve helped you grow in unexpected ways (like a 🌳) and how you can continue that growth now.

The Revolutionary Capacity of Quantum Computing 🖥️

Many of us are awed by what technology can do today, but Quantum Computing is poised to make exponential changes to a multitude of functions across industries and entities, which could radically change how we live and work.

We are all aware that love is our most natural state of being, but what does it mean to truly love someone? ❤️

According to Thomas Merton, an American mystic 🧙‍♂️ and poet ✒️, the foundation of love is "the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image."
