    How to Break Generational Silence Feat. Nicole Russell Wharton

    Have you ever sat in a doctor’s office filling out forms, just guessing your whole medical history? Same!    This week, Good Moms are joined by community healer, author, friend, and founder of Precious Dreams Foundation,  Nicole Russell Wharton! Nicole shares how she found out the hard way that family silence isn’t just frustrating, it can actually be dangerous.    After six surgeries in one year and a diagnosis that should’ve never been a surprise, Nicole started asking questions that her family had never talked about (It’s likely yours hasn't either!) This led her to start asking hard questions, uncovering hidden family histories, and ultimately writing her book, “Breaking Generational Silence: A Guide To Disrupt Unhealthy Family Patterns and Heal Inherited Trauma”    Share this episode with a friend so we’re not all out here putting “I don’t know” on every damn medical form!    What you can expect to hear: (3:10)  Come see Good Moms at Black Effect Podcast Festival!!  (9:30) Why the ‘good woman’ stereotype is outdated  (14:45) Nicole shares how her lung collapse was connected to her menstrual cycle; ultimately leading to her endometriosis diagnosis (27:30) The importance of asking your family uncomfortable questions and some things to keep in mind while you do it (34:15) Bad Choice of the Week Segment (41:20)  How Nicole got her dad to finally open up, by showing him death certificates and family records. In her own words…"I had to ask my dad questions with receipts—because Black families don’t just volunteer information." (49:55) Why generational trauma shows up in our bodies, and how breaking silence is the first step toward healing (1:02:40) Nicole talks about her infertility struggle and reveals some surprising information with Erica and Milah   Connect With Us: @GoodMoms_BadChoices @TheGoodVibeRetreat @Good.GoodMedia @WatchErica @Milah_Mapp -------------------------------------- Good Vibes Retreats: Got a lover?
