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!
