A New Generation Podcast Episode 11: A mothers perspective

The mystically talented Diana Guzman, treasured momma of 5, trained doula, beloved wife, sister and daughter, professional driver recruiter and advocate, transportation noob, comic book, and anime enthusiast, the legend of Zelda Super Fan, small business owner of The Wild Moon Lotus LLC, and all-around positive energy driven human joins the pod as a new season kicks off.

Diana shared her passion for all things truck driver-related including the significance of relationship-building and maintaining social connections after the on-boarding process! She explained how quick "check-in calls" can change the energy for long-haul drivers in a way that supports wellbeing.

During our conversation, we also explored how expecting moms can celebrate bringing life into the world by having a doula as part of their support team for emotional, spiritual, and physical support. Particularly first-time and young women who might not have strong social support to make the experience less stressful. As a trained doula, Diana shared her lived experiences including how she created a birth plan and how her training empowered her, during her last two pregnancies, as she set birthing expectations. I briefly discussed the fears I experienced, as a teen-age mom, and how having doula support would have benefited my journey into motherhood.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Most cases of domestic violence take place behind closed doors, occurring about every 15 seconds in our county. We opened the curtains and briefly shared how we grew up in environments that included bouts of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. We shared our beliefs about how having open conversations with our children, with others in our circles, and even during the podcast conversation can stop and change the cycles of generational trauma and abuse for future generations. It was through motherhood that found our strength and footing to not only educate and raise that awareness in our lives of our children but to allow our voices to be heard in a way without bouts of judgment flooding the heartfelt, honest conversation we choose NOT to keep hidden as we know we are only as sick as our secrets.

By sharing our stories, we hope listeners will feel stronger and seek support when it comes to their physical, mental, spiritual social, emotional, and occupational well-being.

Domestic violence is never okay, no matter the circumstances. If you or someone you know is in desperate need of help, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1−800−799−7233 or TTY 1−800−787−3224.

Talkin Domestic Violence Awareness, Motherhood, Doulas & Social Connection with Diana Guzman

Bonnie is an author, therapist, mentor, and the co-founder of the nonprofit agency: Nurturing the Heart with the Brain in Mind. 

This is Bonnie’s second appearance on the show, and in this conversation we dive deeper into her unique concept of “Inner Community” and how it can be applied to heal deep-seated wounds from the past, and create a felt-sense of safety in the body. 

You’ll learn: 

— How our neurobiology and mirror neurons put us “within each other” 

— How Bonnie’s unique approach to psychotherapy offers a powerful modality for healing intergenerational trauma

— Why “self regulation” is a myth and how we’re built for co-regulation instead

— How to apply “radical inclusiveness” to heal the negative parts of ourselves that we have “imported” from others.

And more.

A New Generation Podcast Episode 12: A change in perspective pt. 1

I’ll Never Look In Their Eyes [Blend Right In] is a tribute to all those who have faced the hell of growing up with undiagnosed autism or finding themselves somewhere on the autism spectrum without knowing it. It’s also dedicated to outsiders in general—the pain of navigating a world where neurotypical people, often unconsciously or consciously, form a silent consensus to avoid understanding those who are different. This song honors the sensitive and thoughtful, those who struggle to fit into a world often ruled by the "low-empathy" and the "self-assured."

But it doesn’t stop there. I’ll Never Look In Their Eyes [Blend Right In] is also for those who grew up with mentally ill parents who never sought help, forcing their children to absorb and take responsibility for their emotions—becoming codependent, perhaps psychologically abused, or worse. It speaks to the generational trauma and lifelong challenges that come from walking on eggshells around a dysfunctional parent.

This song is a call to break the taboo around mental health and demand a change in how society views those who are unwillingly made victims of others' psychological issues. Through its lyrics and emotional depth, I’ll Never Look In Their Eyes [Blend Right In] urges us all to see beyond the façade and advocate for a more compassionate and understanding world.

[Verse]
I learned to smile, the way they do
But their laughter fades, and I’m left confused
Words are easy, but meanings hide
In the space between, where I reside

[Chorus]
I see the world, just like they do
But I’ll never look in their eyes
I blend right in, in the light of day
But inside, I'm lost in their lies

[Verse]
Their faces shift, but I can’t see
The lines they draw, weren't meant for me
I read the books, I know the rules
But in their world, I’m just a fool

[Chorus]
I see the world, just like they do
But I’ll never look in their eyes
I blend right in, in the light of day
But inside, I'm lost in their lies

[Verse]
I’m smart enough, to understand
But their silent codes, escape my hands
They say one thing, but mean another
Their hidden truths, I’ll never uncover

[Chorus]
I see the world, just like they do
But I’ll never look in their eyes
I blend right in, in the light of day
But inside, I'm lost in their lies

[Verse]
They laugh and joke, but I’m not sure
If I’m the punchline, or something more
I try to reach, but I can’t connect
My words get lost, in their dialect

[Chorus]
I see the world, just like they do
But I’ll never look in their eyes
I blend right in, in the light of day
But inside, I'm lost in their lies

[Bridge]
Behind the mask, I wear so well
Is a heart that aches, a silent yell
They talk in circles, I walk a line
In a world of noise, where I’m defined

[Chorus]
I see the world, just like they do
But I’ll never look in their eyes
I blend right in, in the light of day
But inside, I'm lost in their lies

[Outro]
I’m one of them, or so it seems
But the space between, is filled with dreams
I’ll keep on trying, to break through
But in their eyes, I’m never true

I’ll Never Look In Their Eyes [Blend Right In]

From humble beginnings in the remote Pilbara, Dr Tracy Westerman was the first Aboriginal person in Australia to complete a PhD in Clinical Psychology and has risen to become one of the country’s leading psychologists.

In an event that marked the publication of her powerful memoir Jilya, Westerman spoke to journalist and Wiradjuri man Stan Grant, and drew on decades of client stories of trauma and heartbreak, explaining how mental health professions’ one-size-fits-all approach is creating irreparable damage and how a different approach can help to heal the wounds of intergenerational trauma.

This event was recorded live at Sydney Opera House on September 10, 2024

What is ‘generational trauma’? Do social inequalities play a role in accessing CAMHS? How important is representation in therapy? All this and more answered as Professor Umar Toseeb interviews Dr. Kenisha Jackson about access to, and experiences of, mental health care for marginalised children.

Dr. Kenisha Jackson; Mental Health Care for Marginalised Children

The home of podcasts and music from the Sydney Opera House.

According to the CDC youth ages 3-17 represent 9.7% of those living with anxiety and 5% of those living with depression. Many mental health spaces prioritize the needs of adults, which leaves the question, "What about the kids". This podcast seeks to create a safe space for youth to learn about mental health and age appropriate strategies in order to do so. Because, eventually as a society we should be able to say, "The Kids are Alright!".

One Planet Healing is proud to present A New Generation podcast hosted by co-founders Kimberly Maize and Savannah Woodard. They are a powerhouse mother-daughter duo determined to reduce trauma stigma and to bring focus to healing transgenerational trauma through open conversations. Listen as they share their story of healing their transgenerational trauma through radical self-awareness and responsibility.

A podcast exploring the messy in-betweenness of life. Musings on transitions, systems, complexity, and connecting with the more-than-human world.

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦
