Family trauma can trickle down from generation to generation. Unless someone has the wherewithal to break the cycle. Join the Sickboy crew as they sit down with Carmen Rita Wong, author of 'Why Didn't You Tell Me?: A Memoir,' for a powerful exploration of family trauma, epigenetics, and cultural differences in raising children. Carmen shares her journey of managing generational trauma, breaking the cycle with her own kids, and growing up with a mentally ill mother. The conversation delves into the impact of cultural beliefs on mental health and the heartbreaking realities of losing family members due to a lack of health resources. Carmen is an absolute badass and will bring you on a candid journey about resilience, mental health, and overcoming cultural barriers.
