We do want to issue a ******trigger warning ***** we do briefly mention sexual assault. Traumatic events can affect the way we feel and behave, and when they run deep, sometimes trauma requires years of therapy to resolve. But if left unresolved, traumas, just like genes, can be passed on from generation to generation. It Didn't Start With You by Mark Wolynn, you’ll also learn how the pain suffered by your great-aunt could haunt you personally today; why a few simple questions are all you need to get to the root of pain; and how repeating positive statements can rewire your brain. It Didn't Start With You Key Idea #1: Severe trauma can lead to negative behavior and feelings, even when the trauma isn’t your own. Many people struggle with emotional problems. Some hold irrational fears, exhibit destructive habits or feel trapped in unhealthy relationships. Meg goes into detail about this wonderful book, Generational trauma is something everyone has to some degree, but its our jobs as people to try and break the cycle.

Episode 24: Gypsies (My Big Fat American Gypsie Wedding TV Show in Review): In this episode we primarily discuss Gypsies, trans-generational trauma in regards to the tv show My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding, and different types of gypsy spells used within their culture. Gypsies are sometimes forgotten when people talk about magic, tarot readings, and hexing- but they were one of the first true witches. Gypsies may have a stigma attached to them, but its due to trans-generational trauma, and the lack of generational wealth in their culture as a whole. Many gypsies traveled from all over Europe to the shores of America- which is way many gypsies live along the eastern coast- but you still will find them throughout the United States. Although the term gypsies comes from Egyptian, there is many gypsies from Russia, England, Ireland, and Germany. These cultures like to keep their blood line pure, and tend to marry within their family (cousins, etc.) They refer to anyone outside of their culture as gorgers. Gypsies are a very interesting type of witch culture that many people forget about, but we highly recommend you watch this show!Check out our Patreon for bonus material, such as our research/notes from each episode!
