This episode dives into why therapy is not just for moments of crisis, how it can prevent generational patterns, and how we as parents and individuals can start healing, even in the middle of chaos.If you’ve ever thought “therapy isn’t for me” or felt the pressure of carrying your family’s burdens, this conversation is your sign to reconsider. Healing is brave. Healing is necessary. Healing is power. 💕Interested in joining Empowered with Gina as a member?
