00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,440
Tell me about your vision. My vision is for children to have healed parents. My mission

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:16,480
is to help a million families heal in 2024. And to me, what that means is healing as freedom. I

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:23,200
want people blissfully happy, experiencing love on the deepest levels. And again, I want children

4
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:30,400
to have healed parents versus parents that are just passing on without meaning to generational

5
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:37,680
trauma patterns and cycles. And I really know after 20 years of experience in private practice,

6
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:44,160
we can do family our way the way we imagined we always could and love. And we all deserve that.

7
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:52,160
That's a very interesting vision, the way you framed it. I want

8
00:00:53,520 --> 00:01:03,440
to have children have healed parents. That is a great way to put it. Why did you choose that?

9
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:11,760
I'm an incest survivor, a domestic violence survivor in my childhood, and even with a 4.0 GPA

10
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:19,200
and my counseling master's degree, I didn't break the cycle. I found myself in my first marriage

11
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:26,160
with a baby in a domestic violence situation all over again, even though I knew better. And so for

12
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:34,640
me, this idea of being a healed parent means the cycle officially ended. I don't just manage and

13
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:42,720
cope and understand. I have obliterated the trauma cycle and I don't live it and it doesn't impact

14
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:50,160
me anymore. That is the definition of being a healed adult. The past is clear. It's not impacting

15
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:56,800
you. You're not trying to avoid it. You're not trying to manage and cope. It's over. And that's

16
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:04,640
what I want. And in my couple's work for now at least 13 years of prioritizing couple's work,

17
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:11,120
the magic moment where the two people meet each other for the first time is my favorite part of

18
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:18,640
what I do. The inner child who's wounded isn't who you are and it isn't who you're married to.

19
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:26,080
And most couples haven't met the healed version of themselves or their spouse. And it is so beautiful

20
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:33,360
to get to witness that in my private practice work with couples. And that is what kids deserve,

21
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,960
that version of their parents running the show and getting that modeled to them.

22
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:56,480
I don't know a more beautiful gift we can give our kids.
