There were so many things you didn’t talk about — money, emotions, your body. Everything was wrapped in secrecy.

In this episode, Theresa and Walker unpack a listener’s submission titled “Santa, s3x, and secret ledgers” — a reflection on growing up in silence around topics like money, intimacy, and truth. They explore how secrecy shapes shame, why curiosity is a form of healing, and what happens when families start to talk about the things once considered off-limits.

They discuss how breaking generational patterns of silence helps restore connection, trust, and self-understanding — from conversations about the body to beliefs about worth and safety. Theresa shares how parents can reframe “privacy” versus “secrecy,” while Walker reflects on vulnerability, curiosity, and the power of creating space for hard conversations.

They remind us that silence breeds shame, but conversation builds connection — and that even uncomfortable truths can become openings for healing.

Healthy relationships are often modeled long before they’re ever taught, and for many of us, that modeling was complicated. What happens when our parents couldn’t show what safety, respect, or repair looked like because no one showed them?

In this episode, Theresa and Walker talk about the gap between intention and example — why it’s easy to tell kids what to do but harder to live it ourselves. They explore how shame and avoidance shape family dynamics, how nervous system regulation helps rebuild connection, and why modeling imperfection with honesty is often the most powerful teaching of all.

Theresa shares how parents can still teach through vulnerability, even if they’re still learning themselves, while Walker reflects on his own experiences raising his daughter and repairing through conversation. They remind us that healthy relationships aren’t built on perfection, but on presence, safety, and willingness to keep trying.

Generational trauma is one of those invisible threads that quietly shapes families — how we speak, react, connect, and protect. Most of us never realize we’re carrying what began long before us.

In this conversation, Theresa and Walker explore what happens when unhealed trauma passes from one generation to the next—how fear, defensiveness, or silence can replace presence and safety. They talk about the nervous system’s role in survival, why facing trauma can feel life-threatening, and how courage, therapy, and honest connection can begin to rewrite those patterns.

Theresa shares stories from her work with parents learning to face their past without collapsing into it, while Walker reflects on his own journey toward healing and how that transformed his relationship with his daughter. They remind us that doing the work, no matter our age, changes more than our story; it changes the lineage that follows.

Money is one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives, yet in many families, it’s the one topic never discussed out loud.

In this conversation, we explore what happens when kids grow up without real guidance around money: the shame, secrecy, and fear that can follow into adulthood. Walker shares personal stories of judgment and silence, while Theresa reflects on what she carried from her own upbringing and what her kids later wished she had taught them.

We talk about why money conversations feel so fraught, how silence creates confusion and pressure, and what it means to offer age-appropriate guidance without burdening children. The heart of this episode is simple. Money doesn’t have to be a source of shame. Honest, shame-free communication opens the door to confidence, resourcefulness, and even abundance.

So many of us grew up knowing our parents as “Mom” or “Dad,” but not as full human beings with dreams, flaws, and stories of their own.

In this conversation, we reflect on what’s lost when children only see their parents through the lens of authority, and what’s possible when parents share their humanity. Walker and Theresa explore why some parents avoid vulnerability, how silence can leave kids to fill in painful gaps, and the freedom that comes when truth replaces perfection.

We also talk about practical ways to invite these conversations—whether your parents are still here or you’re reflecting back—so that relationships can deepen through honesty, curiosity, and shared humanity.

Divorce can reshape a child’s world in ways they can’t always put into words.

In this conversation, we sit with the reality many children face: the belief that a parent’s leaving must somehow be their fault. Walker shares from his own childhood experience, and we talk about what happens when silence takes the place of honesty—how kids make up painful stories to fill the gaps and how those stories can follow them for years.

We also explore what children need most during this transition: reassurance, clarity, and simple rituals of safety that remind them they are loved. These conversations aren’t easy, but avoiding them leaves deeper wounds. Our hope is to encourage honesty, even when it’s imperfect, so kids can carry truth instead of blame."

What happens when the hardest parts of family life go unspoken?

In this first conversation of our Conversations We Needed With Our Parents Growing Up, we explore what it’s like to grow up in silence about mental health—the confusion, shame, and self-blame that often follow, and the longing for honesty that could have made all the difference.

We talk about why parents may have avoided these conversations, what children make up in the absence of clarity, and how we can begin to shift the cycle now by creating more openness, language, and emotional safety for ourselves and our families.

These are tender topics, and they won’t all fit into 10 or 15 minutes, but we hope this gives you a place to start—and permission to keep going.
