NeuroHeir℠ Podcast: Somatic and Generational Healing Tools for Parents, Therapists, and Cycle Breakers
Did you know you inherit a nervous system shaped by the generations before you? Most of us don’t. Without realizing it, we end up repeating patterns, carrying silence, and holding burdens that were never ours to carry.
The NeuroHeir℠ Podcast is for cycle breakers…young adults, parents, and those in helping roles like teachers, coaches, healers, and therapists…who are ready to understand their nervous system through a generational lens, release what no longer serves, and consciously create the legacy they want to pass on.
This podcast will answer questions such as:
- Why does inherited trauma affect my body, not just my mind?
- How do I regulate my nervous system when I feel anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down?
- What does it really mean to “break cycles” without disowning my family?
- How can I help my kids feel safe and regulated when I’m still learning this myself
- What somatic practices can I use in real time to reset and reconnect?
Inside each episode, you’ll find nervous system education explained through a generational lens, somatic practices you can use right away (including my signature 4N framework: Notice, Name, Nurture, Navigate), research on generational trauma and resilience, and real-life stories through guest conversations and live coaching.
I’m Leanna Hunt, an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor and certified performance coach trained in somatic-based modalities. I use these approaches every day to help clients regulate their nervous systems, release inherited patterns, and reconnect with who they really are.
Subscribe today and take your first step toward becoming a NeuroHeir℠, because you may not have chosen what you inherited, but you can choose what comes next.

5. From Breaking to Repairing: Healing Your Nervous System Inheritance
What if your healing isn’t about breaking cycles but repairing them?
In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I introduce the concept of Legacy Repair and what it means to become a NeuroHeir—someone who consciously tends to their nervous system inheritance.
Through my own story of rediscovering my late father’s journals and powerful research on intergenerational trauma, I explore how silence, survival, and family patterns shape the way we live, love, and connect today.
You’ll learn:
- What it means to become a NeuroHeir and practice legacy repair
- How the NeuroHeir Survival Map explains inherited protection states
- Why compassion not distance is key to generational healing
- What Polish WWII research reveals about silence and the body
- How the 4 Ns (Notice, Name, Nurture, Navigate) create conscious repair
This episode isn’t about fixing the past—it’s about integrating its truth so your body can finally rest. Whether you’re the first in your family to seek change or simply curious about how your lineage lives in you, this conversation will help you begin the gentle work of repair.
🎧 Tune in and discover how to move from breaking to repairing—one compassionate breath at a time.
