SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Renowned Therapy Expert Mark Wolynn
DESCRIPTION:How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are (and How to End the Cycle) with Renowned Therapy Expert Mark Wolynn\nInternational Bestselling Author and Winner of the 2016 Silver Nautilus Book Award in Psychology \nREGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nHow do the experiences of our ancestors influence our thoughts and behaviors today? In his award-winning book\, It Didn’t Start with You\, author Mark Wolynn shares compelling evidence that the roots of our anxiety\, phobias\, and chronic pain may not reside in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains—but in the lives of our parents\, grandparents\, and even great-grandparents. And now\, The Official It Didn’t Start with You Workbook is available with practical exercises to take your understanding even further. \nThe latest scientific research supports what many have long intuited—that traumatic experiences can be passed down through generations. Even if the person who suffered the original trauma has died\, or the story has been forgotten or silenced\, memory and feelings can live on. These emotional legacies are often hidden\, encoded in everything from gene expression to everyday language\, and they play a far greater role in our emotional and physical health than has ever before been understood. \nAs a pioneer in the field of inherited family trauma\, Mark Wolynn has worked with individuals and groups on a therapeutic level for over twenty years. It Didn’t Start with You is a transformative approach to resolving longstanding difficulties that in many cases\, traditional therapy\, drugs\, or other interventions have not had the capacity to touch. \nRegister today to join our virtual conversation and learn more about how inherited family trauma impacts your health–and how to break the cycle. \nAbout the Author: \nMark Wolynn (accent on “l‎‎ynn”) is a leading expert in the field of inherited family trauma. He’s the director of The Family Constellation Institute in the US and is renowned for his work that bridges epigenetics\, neuroscience\, and somatic healing\, and shows how the traumas of our parents\, grandparents\, and even great grandparents\, can live in our bodies as unexplained depression\, anxiety\, obsessive thoughts\, and chronic health conditions. His book It Didn’t Start with You is an international bestseller\, which has sold more than three million copies worldwide. It won the Silver Nautilus Book Award for Psychology and has been translated into 40 languages. Mark has just released the 2025 revised edition of It Didn’t Start with You and The Official It Didn’t Start with You Workbook.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Reyna Grande
DESCRIPTION:Migrant Heart: The Hidden Cost of the American Dream and Healing Through Storytelling with Reyna Grande\nAward-Winning and Bestselling Author of The Distance Between Us and A Dream Called Home \nREGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nIn her ambitious new memoir\, Migrant Heart: Essays About Things I Can’t Forget\, beloved bestselling author Reyna Grande illuminates the hidden cost of the American Dream and the complex journey of healing that follows survival. \nWhat is the true power of stories? Can they heal the jagged edges of a traumatic childhood? Is the cost of telling the story worth the price of the cure? \nWith her signature blend of sophistication and raw honesty\, Grande interrogates how living between two nations\, two languages\, and two identities has shaped the woman\, mother\, and writer she has become. Moving from the legacy of violence in her hometown of Iguala\, Mexico\, to a bittersweet family vacation in Europe spent reconciling her own impoverished past with her children’s world of abundance\, she uncovers startling truths about the nature of survival. \nWhether being racially profiled in the Arizona borderlands or finding unexpected wisdom from the slugs in her garden\, Grande unflinchingly asks: How do we bridge the gap between who we were and who we have become? How do we turn pain into power? When memory threatens to define us\, how can we use story to heal while still honoring our boundaries? \nRegister today for this virtual talk if you identify as a seeker\, a dreamer\, or “anyone who believes in the enduring\, transformative power of finding one’s voice.” \nAbout the Author: \nReyna Grande is an award-winning author\, motivational speaker\, and writing teacher. As a young girl\, she crossed the US–Mexico border to join her family in Los Angeles\, a harrowing journey chronicled in The Distance Between Us\, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. Her other books include the novels A Ballad of Love and Glory\, Across a Hundred Mountains\, and Dancing with Butterflies\, the memoirs Migrant Heart\, The Distance Between Us: Young Readers Edition\, and A Dream Called Home\, and the anthology Somewhere We Are Human: Authentic Voices on Migration\, Survival\, and New Beginnings. She lives in Woodland\, California\, with her husband and two children. Visit ReynaGrande.com for more information.
