Summary

Hi, Heal Squad! We’re back with Nicole Russell Wharton, a bestselling author, certified trauma-informed healing instructor, mental health expert and endometriosis advocate. Her new book, Breaking Generational Silence, is about to break down barriers by exploring how the generational ripple effect….aka family history…can affect our healing. Yup, our family history can shape our present lives in ways we don’t even realize! Nicole tells Maria her experience in recognizing and breaking negative generational patterns to create real change—not just emotionally, but physically too. She shares powerful insights about her mother and father’s past influences, how they shaped her journey, and, most importantly, how she broke free from inherited traumas to reclaim her own path. This episode is packed with eye-opening revelations, self-empowerment, and must-listen advice on how you can uncover the hidden clues in your family history to transform your health forever. Enjoy friends! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: Family History Can Hold Clues to Health & Healing: Nicole emphasizes the importance of investigating your family’s medical and emotional history. Understanding inherited patterns—whether trauma, health conditions, or behaviors—can help you make informed choices about your well-being. Be The CEO of Your Own Health : Whether it’s emotional struggles or physical symptoms, Maria stresses the necessity of self-awareness and advocating for yourself in healthcare and life. Nicole says tuning into your body’s signals and seeking answers—rather than ignoring or accepting discomfort—can be life-changing. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EPISODE RESOURCES: Follow Nicole on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DHUjfTOyQVp/?hl=en Pick up Nicole’s Book: Breaking Generational Silence: A Guide to Disrupt Unhealthy Family Patterns and Heal Inherited Trauma: https://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Generational-Silence-Unhealthy-Inherited/dp/1649632991 Learn More About Nicole’s Foundation: https://www.preciousdreamsfoundation.org/ ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
