On this week's episode, we welcome Kris to share her story. Kris shares a powerful perspective on generational birth trauma. Her birth mother passed away just three days after giving birth, and years later, she faced her own birth trauma during her second pregnancy with her son, Logan, now 23. After decades of healing and personal growth, Kris offers insight into what it’s like to be more than 20 years removed from birth trauma and the importance of owning and sharing your story. We hope this episode brings you hope, no matter where you are in your healing journey.
On this episode, you will hear:
- generational birth trauma
