Oop's, I Did It Differently: Shaking Up My Family Tree

Breaking Generational Patterns: Creating a Brighter Future for My Children and Generations to Come!

Breaking free from the past is never easy. It's likely the hardest task of our lives. Most people pass on from this realm without ever knowing they are bound by generational chains. Most souls have no idea the key to success, wealth, health and more abundant future is to first identify what limiting beliefs hold them hostage and then break the chains by coding in new beliefs. Sounds easy enough right? Keep reading, this is a doozy but well worth your time!

Growing up, I watched my family struggle with financial instability, unhealthy relationships, and a lack of emotional communication. For years, I thought this was just the way life was. It was my 'Normal'. Once I became an adult, I repeated the exact same struggles over and over again. The struggles felt normal and safe for me. Thinking of a life without stress, worry, financial hardship felt unachievable, and even made me uncomfortable. I suspect I am third, fourth or perhaps fifth generation of poormans or scarcity program. The patterns are deeply embedded in my DNA.

Unbeknownst to me in 2021, when I left everything I knew to be normal, it was the first step in breaking generational patterns. At the time I felt a pull, pulling me to take a leap into the unknown. I couldn't explain it at the time. All I knew was that I had to make drastic changes.

As I reflect back, I realize now that I was becoming aware of my intuition. I describe it as a gut feeling, which is Intuition. The old saying "Trust your Gut" refers to trusting your feelings and intuition.

Nothing I was doing made sense to others or even myself, but I felt a sense of peace for once in my adult life. For once I felt I was on the right path. A journey to a better life. I wanted something different for myself and my children's future.

This is the story of how I broke the generational patterns that held me back and my journey to create a new legacy that would change the trajectory of my life and my children's lives. But first let me explain what Generational Patterns are and where they actually come from.

What are Generational Patterns?

Generational patterns refer to behaviours, beliefs, practices, and habits that are passed down from one generation to the next within families. These patterns can encompass a wide range of aspects, including:

1. Behavioral Patterns:

• Parenting Styles: How parents discipline, nurture, and interact with their children.

• Communication Styles: The ways family members express themselves, handle conflicts, and share emotions.

• Relationship Dynamics: How family members relate to each other and to outsiders, including issues like trust, affection, and conflict resolution.
  

2. Belief Systems:

• Cultural and Religious Beliefs: Traditions, rituals, and values that are inherited from previous generations.

• Worldviews: General perspectives on life, such as optimism or pessimism, and attitudes towards work, education, and success.

3. Emotional Patterns:

• Emotional Responses: How family members react to stress, joy, sadness, anger, etc.

• Mental Health: Patterns related to mental health issues like depression, anxiety, or substance abuse.

4. Financial Habits:

• Spending and Saving: Attitudes towards money, including how money is earned, spent, and saved.

• Financial Management: Practices related to budgeting, investing, and handling financial crises.

• Belief towards Money: Attitudes towards wealth or wealthy people "Money is the root of all evil or Rich people are greedy"

5. Health and Lifestyle:

• Diet and Nutrition: Eating habits and dietary preferences that are passed down.

• Physical Activity: Attitudes towards exercise and physical fitness.

• Health Practices: Approaches to health care, including preventive measures and responses to illness.

Where do Generational Patterns come from?

These behaviours, beliefs, and practices are passed down through families from one generation to the next but since we are not living in the 1800s any longer, there are other influences present now more than any other time in history.

• Formal Education: Educational systems and the values they impart can shape generational attitudes towards knowledge, authority, and societal roles.

• Social Networks: Peer groups and social networks influence behaviours and attitudes, reinforcing or challenging family patterns.

• Media, TV, Movies: Are powerful tools in shaping behaviout patterns through their portrayal of soical normas, role models, and culural narriatives. By consistently presenting certain behaviours and values, media influences how we percieve ourselves and the world around us, impacting our beliefs, habits and lifestyles. This became blatantly obvious in the last 4 years. Many did EXACTLY what the tv told them to do. The TV is a military weapon used to program our subconscious.

I left the 'Normal' life and then what? This is where my journey escalated quickly! For the first time since I was 15 I had time to reflect on my life. What the F was I going to do now? My career was smashed. I was debt free, living in paradise with loads of time to figure out who 'Corrie' really was without the noise and the distrations of life. I was blessed to have amazing neighbours who were a huge part of my journey. Aryana, an incredible spiritual healer, educated every day on content a few years prior, I would classify as woo woo shit. But it felt so right! The thing about the truth is, vibrationally it will feel right. She introduced me to Jason Christoffs work and the rest is recent history.

I enrolled in the Freedom From Self Sabotage Coaching Course, and within in the first few weeks, I finally felt a sense of relieve that the patterns, or self sabotage behaviours that I have had my entire life were in fact just 'programs' or patterns. They were inherited through family, education and tv, movies & media. Like WHAT?? "So it's not my fault, my parents fault or their parents fault?" How awesome is that?!!

I began to 'Reprogram' by listening to positive content, daily hypnosis dealing with wealth, worthiness and abundance. Limiting the doom and gloom social media, muting accounts that do not align with me, canceling netflix, carefully selecting music. (yes there is negative programming in todays music) boo i know! And really focusing on the positive.

This sounds like an easy fix, it is, but its also the hardest thing. Some of my limiting beliefs, or programs are generations deep. I work on myself every damn day. Its my full time job, like literally. Coding in new belief systems takes time, patience, discipline and consistency. Eventually it will change the neuro pathways in our brains. And this is where magic happens! I have done a 180 from the old Corrie. Not only have I changed emotionally, mentally, but physically I feel different. I look different. I feel lighter. I believe I have changed my DNA. It's such an awesome feeling but what came a giant surprise to me is the ripple effect it has had on my children!

Yesterday, Taylor, my daughter who turns 30 in July, moved to Australia to pursue her dreams of living abroad in the land down under. Could it be that since I made bold moves, broke generational patterns has had a domino effect on her life? I believe the answer is YES it has! How freaking amazing!!

So heres the thing, we all have generational patterns, good and bad. The good ones you can keep, but the ones that do not serve you or actually cause you to have a mediocre unhappy, unhealthy life, it is time to replace them for you and for your children. As parents we will do anything to help out our kids. Help them by helping you!

This was a pretty deep blog for a Sunday evening. My hope is that it may spark a little light in you to search further. To be aware of that little gut feeling. To take a leap, even if its small jump into a journey of self discovery. If you have questions or just need a listening ear, I am here for you. I didn't get to where I am today on my own. I have had many angels help me along. Now it is time for me to pay it forward.

Connect with me today if you are ready to take a leap, break away from your generational patterns and code in a new life! One that you choose!

Photo above is my beautiful family, walking into a new chapter of our lives full of health, wealth, success and freedom. Taylor and Gabriel motivate me every day to level up, to keep working on myself, to continue to smash limiting beliefs. I love them, and I am so proud of both of them.

Peace & Love
