It took a near-death experience for mental health expert Nicole Russell-Wharton to realize that after 35 years, she didn't know the body she was living in. After being diagnosed with a rare genetic condition that others in her family had, Nicole couldn't understand how and why everyone remained silent. It wasn’t until she started collecting data on generational issues like poverty and trauma that she had this awakening: it's the silence that's harming us. Many of our healing challenges are rooted in our families’ silence and psychological pathology.

Join Nicole for a transformative conversation exploring generational silence and healing from inherited trauma. Nicole discusses generational silence, a term applied to families who have experienced suppressed thoughts or repressed emotions for at least two generations. Generational silence addresses both the cycle and impact of issues like substance abuse, religion, racism, education inequality, and parenting.

Sharing insights from her latest book, Breaking Generational Silence, Nicole speaks from her Black experience about how slavery left an intergenerational impact on her family and how understanding and healing the root of silence can finally break the cycle for generations to come.

Nicole invites you to begin to break the cycle of suffering and find courage to face family challenges to become your own best advocate.

Nicole Russell-Wharton is a certified trauma-informed healing instructor. She's the cofounder and executive director of Precious Dreams Foundation, which advocates for mental health and the well-being of children. She is also CEO of Pitch House Productions, her consulting agency dedicated to educating corporations on best practices for serving vulnerable populations. Nicole is the author of Everything a Band-Aid Can’t Fix and My Busy, Busy Brain. She lives in New York City.
