In this soul-nourishing episode of the Deeply Well Podcast, Devi sits down with the radiant Nicole Russell-Wharton — a certified trauma-informed healing instructor whose work has been rooted in compassion, advocacy, and generational restoration. Together, we explore the sacred work of healing family legacies — the kind of healing that requires us to face the silences we've inherited and honor the stories that were never told.

Nicole shares her powerful journey supporting children in foster care and reminds us how deeply transformative it can be when we create space for young people to feel seen, heard, and whole. We talk about the importance of tracing our lineage — not just to understand where we come from, but to reconnect with the wisdom, the pain, and the resilience our ancestors carried.

This conversation moves gently through the layers of forgiveness, chronic illness, and health awareness — all parts of the healing process. We reflect on the beauty of documenting our stories and reclaiming our narratives so future generations can move forward with clarity and wholeness.

If you've ever felt the weight of unspoken truths in your family or wondered how to begin the process of breaking generational cycles, this episode is a soft and powerful invitation. It is an invitation to lean into community, deepen your self-discovery, and allow healing to ripple through every branch of your family tree.
