As millennials that have experienced one setback after another, many of us may feel a little disheartened as we fail to achieve some of the exciting life milestones that we thought we'd have by now. With housing costs and the cost of living in general becoming more and more out of reach, we may never achieve the same American Dream that we were sold.

But maybe our legacy isn't about success as we were raised to understand it! Maybe our legacy is making sure that the destructive patterns that were passed down to us from generations before don't get passed down to generations after us.

That's the topic of this week's episode of The Millennial Reset- what it means to break the cycle and raise the next generation based on a framework that stems from self-expression, self-worth, and what's true today, instead of what we've been conditioned for in the past.

We're joined once again by licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Abena Berry, as we break down three important concepts:

1. Understanding how trauma gets passed down from one generation to another, oftentimes completely unconsciously.
2. Self-help techniques to begin uncovering some of the conditioning and subconscious programming that may have gone unnoticed until now.
3. How to make sure that toxic generational patterns don't get passed down to our children by effective modeling.

You can follow Dr. Berry on TikTok and check out her new book on Amazon.

When you change, everything and everyone else around you changes, too. This includes your relationships with family, friends, work, and YOURSELF!

In this week's episode of The Millennial Reset, we're joined again by one of our millennial mental health besties, Lindsey Lopez, to have the real conversations around our changing relationships as we grow into our 30s. This includes:

1. The relationships with our parents. Depending on your relationship thus far, this might look like setting stronger boundaries or learning how to let go of resentment and forgive our parents for not knowing any better.
2. The relationships with our friends. As we grow out of our 20s, where many of us were conditioned to compare ourselves to others and have larger friend groups, you may begin to crave deeper connections with fewer people. This shift is one of quality over quantity.
3. The relationship with work. After having spent so many years focused on climbing the corporate ladder, this may look different. Either we've seen the benefits of this, and decide that the effort is worth the reward. Or, we might start climbing back down that corporate ladder so that we can finally focus on our own dreams and goals and build a stronger identity outside of a job title.
4. The relationship with ourselves. Nothing changes until you change. That change can feel extremely uncomfortable since it goes against everything you were taught and learned so far. As we continue to take the scary steps to get back in touch with our authentic self, one of the most important parts of this healing journey is how we treat ourselves.

Join us, as we have the conversation out loud that so many tired millennials are having to themselves.

This week's episode of The Millennial Reset is dedicated to all of my millennial besties that are ready to face their fears, and finally do whatever it takes to not only overcome burnout, but to give yourself permission to do things differently! It's for those that are either just getting started with their "reset" moment, or in the trenches of doing the inner work as we speak.

I share my 3 big tips for what to anticipate and how to navigate the murky waters of changing your life from the inside OUT:

1. Rest. And then rest more. The complete and utter exhaustion that comes with burnout recovery is actually expected (and not a bad thing). It means that your body is finally entering into parasympathetic healing mode, where your immune system and physiological processes begin to return to homeostatis, which takes time! Rather than getting caught up in your thoughts that tell you that you're lazy or too unproductive, just allow yourself to rest without guilt and shame!
2. Start with Intentions (instead of goals). Goals tend to create more added pressure that can cause us to slip back into fight or flight. When we start with intentions, or how you want to FEEL, we can begin to make decisions based on emotions instead of thoughts. You can always start with the goal, but then ask yourself "why" five times to start getting down to the root emotion.
3. Gift Yourself with Emotional Experiences. Once you identify your desired emotion, it's up to you to start giving your brain the experiences to realize that emotion time and time again. When you create your desired emotion internally, this has a profound impact on the resulting thoughts and actions. Rather than trying to change our THOUGHTS, which requires incredible self-discipline, we can simply give ourselves experiences that make us feel the way we want to feel, so that our brain becomes more and more wired for that feeling and the associated mindset.
