OM DENNE EPISODE
Have you ever found yourself caught in the same relationship pattern again and wondered, Why am I still doing this when I know better? Sometimes the patterns we struggle to change didn’t begin with us — they were shaped within the families we grew up in and may even reach back through generations.
In this rich conversation, systemic therapist and Family Imprint Institute founder Johanna Lynn joins Jennifer to explore how our family imprints shape the ways we love, caretake, react, and relate — and how curiosity, self-compassion, and greater awareness can help us loosen old patterns and create more freedom to choose who and how we want to be.
What You’ll Hear:
- Why “that’s just who I am” may only be the first page of your story.
- How inherited family patterns shape the way you love, react, and relate.
- Why getting curious instead of furious can transform relationship triggers.
- How self-compassion creates space for new choices when old patterns return.
- Experience Johanna’s guided Family Table meditation to explore your own family imprint, belonging, and what you may be carrying forward.
Featured Guest:
Johanna Lynn, founder of The Family Imprint Institute, uncovers the hidden dynamics shaping your relationships. Sharing 20 years of experience to untangle what’s been ‘wrong’ & connect it to where the pattern stems from to truly understand what prevents you from having the closeness we all desire in our loving connections.
