👵🏽 Grandma’s Stress, Your Anxiety

🧬 Trauma in Our DNA? Epigenetics Says: “Hold My Chromatin” 😎 Let’s talk about something wild: your great-grandma’s heartbreak might be chilling in your bloodstream like an emotional Airbnb guest 🏚️. Welcome to the world of epigenetics, where trauma and resilience don’t just fade they echo through generations like a family group chat that never ends 📲. Science says trauma can leave molecular sticky notes 🗒️ on your genes. These aren’t mutations they’re more like “emotional Post-its” that say, “Hey, don’t forget the famine!” or “Remember that war? Yeah, still relevant.” These notes can affect how your genes express themselves, like turning the volume up on anxiety or muting joy like a bad Spotify playlist 🎧. 🧠 Resilience: The Plot Twist: But wait it’s not all doom and gloom! Just like trauma can echo, so can resilience 💪. If your ancestors danced through hardship, built community, or found joy in the chaos, those vibes might be encoded in you too. You’re not just carrying their pain you’re carrying their power. 🕺🏽💃🏽 🧪 Epigenetics: The Science-y Bit: Epigenetics studies how environmental factors; stress, love, diet, TikTok addiction, can switch genes on or off without changing the DNA sequence. It’s like your genes are a piano 🎹, and epigenetics is the moody pianist deciding which keys to play based on vibes. 🧘🏽‍♀️ Healing Is Hereditary Too: Here’s the kicker: healing can be passed down too. Prayer, meditation, therapy, community care, and generational storytelling can rewrite those sticky notes. You’re not just a product of your past you’re a remix 🎶. 🌸 Love & Light Affirmation: "I honor the strength of my ancestors. I carry their wisdom, not just their wounds. I am the lotus blooming through the mud.
