Family dynamics play a powerful role in how we see food, bodies, emotions, and ourselves — and many of the patterns we carry into adulthood were learned long before we had words for them.

In this episode of Recovery Rising, Kelly and Reva explore family cycles and what it means to recognize, question, and gently break patterns that no longer serve our healing. Drawing from lived experience, we talk about how beliefs around food, body image, perfectionism, silence, and coping can be passed down, often unintentionally — and how recovery can bring these patterns into clearer focus.

We discuss the grief, guilt, and courage that can come with breaking cycles, especially when those patterns are rooted in generations of survival, trauma, or unspoken expectations. This episode isn’t about blame — it’s about awareness, compassion, and choice. Choosing to do things differently. Choosing to heal. Choosing to create new narratives.

Whether you’re navigating recovery within complex family relationships, reflecting on where certain beliefs came from, or working to create healthier patterns for yourself or future generations, this conversation offers validation, insight, and hope.

💛 You are not responsible for the cycles you inherited.
💛 You are powerful for choosing to break them.
💛 Healing forward is possible.
