Episode Synopsis

What do Roman chariots, railroad tunnels, and rocket ships have to do with your family story? 🚀🐎 In this thought-provoking episode of Strategies for Living, Dr. David McMillian and Lauren Leon McMillian explore how the “tracks” we’ve inherited—through family systems, cultural traditions, and collective beliefs—can quietly shape the course of our lives.Using the famous “two horses’ behinds” story as a metaphor, David and Lauren dive into how generational trauma, limiting beliefs, and unexamined traditions continue to influence both our inner and outer worlds. Together, they unpack psychological insights from Family Systems Theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reveal how awareness, curiosity, and compassion can help us build new tracks that align with our authentic selves.Tune in to learn practical strategies for questioning old patterns, modeling change, and creating a more conscious future—one that moves beyond the limits of yesterday’s rails.Original airdate: 11/5/2025
