What if some of the fears, self-doubt, anxiety, or emotional patterns you've struggled with didn't actually begin with you?

In this fascinating episode of the Mental Health Break Podcast, Dr. Nafisa Sekandari sits down with global epigenetics thought leader Lisa Thomas to explore the emerging science of epigenetics and how our family history may influence our emotional well-being, behaviors, and beliefs.

Lisa shares how inherited patterns can shape our lives, why high achievers often unknowingly carry emotional burdens passed down through generations, and how combining modern epigenetic research with deep inner healing can help create lasting transformation.

Whether you've ever wondered why you repeat the same unhealthy patterns, struggle with anxiety despite your success, or feel held back by invisible emotional blocks, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on healing from the inside out.

How trauma and stress can affect future generations
Why high achievers often experience hidden fears and limiting beliefs
The connection between inherited emotional patterns and anxiety
How awareness is the first step toward breaking generational cycles
