On this episode of Girl Stop Playin' , I'm reconnecting with my girl Makini Smith, and trust me, this conversation is deep! Makini is not just a transformational mindset coach, podcast host, and five-time author—she's also a mother, a grandmother, and a true chain-breaker when it comes to healing generational trauma. We dive into the powerful lessons Makini has learned on her journey from a young mother at 17 to a woman who's been through the wringer and come out stronger. We talk about the mother wound, the impact of childhood trauma on our adult relationships, and the hard truths about how unresolved issues can shape our lives and the lives of our children. Makini gets real about her own experiences, including a traumatic relationship that forced her to confront her deepest wounds and set healthier boundaries. This episode is all about doing the work—because if you don’t, you’re going to keep attracting the same toxic situations. We also discuss the importance of therapy, the challenges of breaking generational cycles, and how to heal from the inside out. If you're on a healing journey or just trying to figure out why you keep ending up in the same situations, this conversation is for you.
