Have you ever thought about how your own stress affects your kids — or how your parents' stress might still be affecting you? In this powerful conversation with Dr. Taz Bhatia, integrative medicine physician, author, and founder of Hol+, we explore how the health of the parents — especially the mother — sets the tone for the entire family system. Because wellness isn't just about self-care… it's about the legacy you're creating for the next generation.

Together, we unpack how patterns of anger, overwhelm, and chronic stress get passed down in families — and how to finally break the cycle. In this episode you'll hear:

Why stress isn't always bad, but becomes harmful when your body never feels safe (aka the cortisol hum).
How unresolved emotions and disconnection show up in the body — from hormone imbalances to fatigue and resentment.
The way childhood modeling shapes how we handle conflict and stress in marriage.
Practical ways to track your body's signals (like HRV) and create a calmer emotional climate at home.
Simple habits couples can build to protect their emotional and physical well-being — and, in turn, their kids'.

Dr. Taz also shares how she's disrupting the medical industry through her Hol+ network (add link) — an integrative system combining Eastern and Western medicine to care for families as a whole, offering both in-person clinics and virtual access nationwide. Her mission is simple yet profound: to help every family heal from the inside out.

This episode is a reminder that when one person in the family heals, everyone benefits. The health of your marriage, your body, and your home are all connected — and you have the power to create a new emotional legacy for your family.
