Choose to be a cycle breaker
Were you raised in chaos and pain? You can choose to break the cycle, and this is how you can do it.

We are standing on the bring of a new age and we are all looking major change right in the face. At the center of this change is the American family. Long gone are the days of nuclear perfection. Now, traditions are redefined every day into new roles and customs. Cycle breakers are the sole of this transformation. The oddball of family, these are the outcasts, the poets, and the change makers. They never quite fit in and always stand out. Are you the cycle breaker in your family? Believe it or not, your pain serves a purpose.
What is a cycle breaker?
When it comes to life and love, we can find ourselves stuck in toxic patterns that hold us back and hold us down in dark places. These cycles perpetuate through families and across generations. Our parents pass them down to us, and we pass them down to our own children without even being aware. In order for us to build futures that are secure and hopeful, we have to acknowledge these cycles and take conscious steps to stop them. To become a cycle breaker is hard, though. In many ways, it’s a death and a goodbye to everything that we knew.
