Another powerful topic we discussed in She Rises Academy with Dr. Tami Robinson was how trauma doesn’t just affect one generation, it can echo through generations.This is where the concept of epigenetics comes in. Epigenetics is the study of how experience, especially stress and trauma, can influence the way our genes are expressed. In simple terms, traumatic experiences can leave biological “imprints” on the body that may be passed down to the next generation. Researchers have found that the children of people who experienced significant trauma, such as war, abuse, severe stress, or generational hardship, often show heightened stress responses, anxiety patterns, and emotional sensitivities even if they themselves never experienced the original trauma. In other words, trauma can become embedded in the nervous system of a family line. That means an unhealed wound in one generation can quietly influence the next.And this is why healing is so important... Because even the most loving parents, parents who deeply want to protect their children, can unintentionally pass down trauma if their own wounds remain unresolved. It may not always show up in obvious ways. Sometimes it shows up through: • heightened anxiety in the home • emotional reactivity or withdrawal • difficulty expressing affection • overprotection or fear-based parenting • relational patterns children learn simply by observing Children don’t just inherit DNA. They inherit emotional environments, coping patterns, belief systems, and nervous system responses. So even when parents try to shield their children from certain environments, the internal patterns of unresolved trauma can still be transmitted. And this happens not only biologically and psychologically, but spiritually as well. Spiritually, trauma can create cycles of fear, rejection, mistrust, and broken identity that continue through family lines. Scripture often refers to these as generational patterns or strongholds, ways of thinking and behaving that become normalized across generations.

Sometimes God allows us to be beautifully broken, so the masterpiece He creates can reveal the full power of His healing, His deliverance, and His restoration. To be beautifully broken… I know what it means to walk through divorce.To struggle financially.To have a car repossessed and be evicted.I know the heartbreak of losing a child.I know the trauma of physical and sexual assault.I know what it feels like to be lied on, talked about, slandered, and misjudged. I know what it feels like to pray for everyone else’s children while your own child is fighting addiction and perversion.I know what it feels like to stand on the edge of suicide, barely holding on.I know what it feels like to lose a father—the steady voice who shaped your life.I know the sting of rejection, betrayal, abandonment, and being dropped by the very people who said they loved you.I know the weight of fear and anxiety when it squeezes you in a chokehold. And yet… After all of this, I now understand what it means to be beautifully broken. I know what it looks like when a loving, sovereign God picks up shattered pieces and fits them together with divine precision.I know what it feels like to be held together by His unfailing love.I know the peace that settles over you when it should’ve been impossible.I know the tender touch of a God who wipes tears you never thought would stop falling.I know what it means for Him to snatch you from the grip of death and breathe new life into your lungs. I now know deeply, fully, undeniably, what it means to be beautifully broken. Because broken in His hands is never the end of the story.It’s the beginning of the masterpiece.
