Breaking The Cycle of Generational Trauma: Tricia Gray, author of A Lotus Legacy

Show by Genesis Women's Shelter & Support

The award-winning Genesis The Podcast is back for Season 6 with all new content and now in video format! To launch Season 6 of Genesis The Podcast, author and survivor Tricia Gray joins the conversation to unpack what generational trauma really is and how it gets passed down through poverty, domestic violence, secrecy, and the roles children take on to survive. We talk plainly about the hidden cost to kids who witness abuse and why “they’re resilient” is not the same thing as “they’re OK.” Tricia shares her story of growing up in a small Louisiana town, living day to day in survival mode, learning to scan a room for danger before she ever knew what safety felt like, and becoming the protector of her own mother as the oldest daughter. She walks us through the moment when at age 19 everything changed as she returned home to a scene filled with police, onlookers, and unimaginable loss. What she chose in that instant becomes the foundation for a living legacy, and it reframes trauma as a chapter rather than the final word. We also get practical about healing. Tricia explains her B.L.O.O.M framework, the language of empathy and self-forgiveness, learning what is and what is not in your control, owning your path, and managing your story so you can rewrite your narrative. We dig into breaking cycles for the next generation by building psychological safety at home, and we talk about why she finally published her memoir, "A Lotus Legacy," and how the lotus flower symbol of resilience and rebirth.
