Why did so many families in the ‘70s avoid talking about their emotions? In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the quiet culture of emotional suppression passed down through generations—from the strong-silent types of the 1940s and ‘50s to the “just keep going” mindset of the 1970s.
Our guest shares what it was like growing up in a loving yet emotionally reserved household, where big feelings were swept under the rug and survival took precedence over vulnerability. Was it cultural conditioning? A generational coping skill? Or simply the way families learned to protect each other?
We also dive into a powerful story about what happened just before her memoir was released—a moment that brought hidden truths to light and proved that love doesn’t always mean transparency... but healing begins when we start having real conversations.
