On this Mother’s Day episode of Live Happy Now, Paula Felps sits down once again with mother‑daughter duo Leslie and Lindsey Glass to explore how mental health patterns, coping strategies, and emotional habits are passed down through generations. Drawing from their own lived experience — including estrangement, reconciliation, and years of therapeutic work — Leslie and Lindsey share practical, compassionate tools for breaking unhealthy cycles, setting boundaries, rebuilding trust, and creating new family patterns rooted in safety and connection.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How generational patterns of anxiety, emotional suppression, and coping get passed down — and how to interrupt them.
- What healthy reconnection looks like, from “baby‑step conversations” to shared activities that rebuild safety and trust.
- How to navigate estrangement, boundaries, and forgiveness when one person is ready to heal and the other isn’t.
