What do you do when your own kids tell you that you caused them trauma? In this episode, Laurie Marie tackles a heartfelt question from a mother whose daughters carry visible wounds from how they were raised, while her sons seem unaffected on the surface. She unpacks why this was never really a boys versus girls issue, every nervous system processes pain differently, and boys are often simply taught to suppress rather than show what they’re carrying.

Laurie Marie speaks to generational trauma, the truth that it’s not your fault but it is your responsibility to clean up your own side of the street, and why a real apology has to be backed by changed behavior, not just words.

Drawing from her own experience as a teenage single mother, she explores what it means to take full accountability while also releasing the outcome, because once you’ve done your part, you can’t force closeness, you can only keep becoming the change yourself. A tender, honest conversation about repair, responsibility, and what’s actually within your control when it comes to healing family relationships.
