Traumatic childhood experiences can shape our approach to romantic relationships in unhealthy ways. We find ourselves trapped in cycles of dysfunction and toxicity, unknowingly mirroring the instabilities and fears experienced in our earliest years.

But what does it take to break free from these patterns? How do we stop the cycle, not just for ourselves but for our kids? My guest Illa Lynn's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of intentional change. Her experience of a traumatic childhood in war-torn Yugoslavia has led her to a profound understanding of love and healing.

Today, she'll share how reframing negative thoughts, employing affirmations, and committing to change can create a ripple effect, fostering healthier families and reducing the impact of childhood trauma.

Childhood trauma affects us all, whether you dodged bullets or your mother's criticism. Let's learn how to rebuild ourselves and heal our unhealthy patterns once and for all!
