13. Invisible Scars: Understanding Hidden Abuse, Healing Trauma & Raising Resilient Kids (with Chavisa)

Limitless: Unlocking Your True Potential

“Violence thrives on silence. When we speak up, we not only break the cycle for ourselves but for those who come after us.”

In this powerful episode, Fiona Walsh sits down with trauma-informed divorce coach and gender-based violence expert Chavisa to explore her journey as a cycle breaker. Drawing from personal experience and professional expertise, Chavisa unpacks the invisible forms of abuse that often go unnoticed, the ripple effects of trauma, and the tools that can help us transform pain into healing and empowerment. They discuss how to break generational cycles, raise emotionally intelligent children, and advocate for safety and wellness in the face of systemic failures.

Today on Limitless:

- Understanding Hidden Abuse: What it is, how it manifests, and why it’s important to have conversations about these lesser-known forms of violence.

- Breaking Generational Cycles of Trauma: How trauma is passed down through family patterns; and the two roles we should all know about: the Trauma Transmitter who continues dysfunctional patterns or the Trauma Transformer who declares, “This stops with me.”

- Parenting Today for Our Kids’ Future: Practical tools for raising children with emotional intelligence, resilience, and the importance of teaching kids the power of consent.

- The Power of Transparency: Using emotional honesty and repair to model healthy behaviour for children.

- Navigating Trauma and Support: Why timely, skilled resources are essential and how to help those in crisis access the care they need.
