- [TW: Mentions of abuse] Even though we’ve talked about our intergenerational trauma repeatedly on this channel, this was the first time hearing some of the things I never knew Mama Mai was feeling and still dealing with. It’s crazy to think how our experiences were so similar. This is why it is so important to talk about these things and address the issues to break the cycle of trauma so it won't repeat itself.

Kin Original Series.
Wow…I was not ready for this episode this morning. I hope parents, no matter the culture really start to realize the impacts that they have on their children, both good and bad.
Wow @ mama mai outfit
Ahh this made me cry!! Mama Mai treats Monaco how my grandparents treated me and I’m forever grateful. The relationship Monaco and mama Mai is going to be even more beautiful than you can imagine

That’s very brave that you brought up this in public with your mom. My parents are Vietnamese too and I don’t dare to talk back or explain myself them for anything.

Wow, thanks for this Jeannie, please do more on this topic your culture is similar to mine I'm a south asian and we all had some kind of trauma back then and some of us had an immense amount of pressure back then that still haunts us to this day, our parents didn't have much choices back then...but LOVE mama Mai too she's so funny and just brightens my day 🙏🏼❤🌻🌹
Aaww!!! I feel so bad for mama Mai & Jennie makes me sad for them 😢. I’m glad that they became the strong,loving,caring, kind & funny women they are today.
Thanks for sharing your story, M💔M Mai.
Breaking the Cycle (The Family Healing Continues…). Video has attractive content and attractive form. Watched the video May 18, 2023. Thank you
Mama Mai & Jeanie let Jesus heal you from all this trauma. Your Heavenly Father awaits you to run into His arms!! ❤
Love ALL of These videos!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️👌👌👌👌
What can one do to convince their parent to go to therapy with them? I'd like to go to family counselling with my mom. I know her story and I sort of understand the way she is or was in raising me but it doesn't erase the wounds but she is stubborn and doesn't see the necessity of seeking therapy
We love MaMa Mai...
I let my husband know from the beginning that he was not allowed to hit our kids the way he was hit as a kid i will always stand up for my kids .
Forcing children to go say hi and hug strangers and extended family is the life of all African kids 😅
Props to both Jeannie and Mama Mai for trying to confront the behaviors of their parents. 👏🏽👏🏽Letting your parents know that some of their methods did not help raise you in the best way and being able to say that to their face can be so daunting. I'm especially happy that Mama Mai tried to confront her father about it. Although he doesn't acknowledge how he traumatized her, he should hear (just like ALL parents should) that his way was not always right.
Well said!
However, Mama Mai did the same thing as her dad. She is just now admitting to the trauma she caused. Monaco's dad will never allow that behavior to repeat. I didn't like hearing Mama Mai criticizing a 10-month old child. Thats the way Jeannie and Jeezy chose to raise their child.
@@blondielee5227 yes but mamma Mai is trying there is a difference between criticism and causing generational traumas and they have therapy and healing and God is working on them daily for the next generation for Jeannie and Monaco ect it's not easy but it's needed I'm glad Jeannie and mamma Mai are touching on this topic 😃
@@janderson947 no matter what, I would keep this woman at an arms distance. She's just waiting to grab Coco and run, but there's no where to go. I'm referring to her ways.
I firmly believe that the more you get to know your parents, you'll get to learn the trauma that raised you.
Definitely.
So true and you begin to view them with a deeper level of understanding and sympathy
I did
@@socialbuddafly6317yes
So true. Its even worse when they throw that trauma in your face, as if you had AnYTHING to do with it 😢
Commenting again, I love how Mama Mai has just grown and even shares her feelings. You have a good mom, Jeannie, and you yourself are a good one to Monaco.
She doesn't gaslight or deflect either. This was a blessing to witness the growth.
I realize the more we talk about it, the more we really understand and relate to each other. It's truly a healing process. 💜
@@HelloHunnay hello Jeannie, I think some one was trying to scam me. Telling me that I won a prize and that I had to pay for the delivery fee. I have the pictures on my phone from telegram.
@@HelloHunnay It’s great your mom is willing to do it too. Some parents are too stuck in “I’m the parent, you’re the child and I’m always right” mindset, and it’s very hard to build or repair a relationship off that.
Mama Mai😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Generational curse ends with with us! Thank you for this video. It was so needed.
❤️
Amen.!

Jeannie, you are a role model. I feel like you have paved the way for so many people that would have never known this information otherwise to go get help for themselves and their family about this particular kind of generational trauma. you are amazing, and so strong and so brave to be facing this and fighting it instead of turning away and hiding. I'm so happy that you are in the world.
This is such a beautiful compliment, and I do not take that lightly. You guys are Mai Fam and I mean it through and through❤
You are so loved!

@@HelloHunnay Hi Jeannie,have you ever considered converting back to your original Buddhist faith?
Man, my heart goes out to Mama Mai every time she talks about how abusive her dad was. You can tell it still really hurts her.❤❤❤😢
She did the same to Jeannie, lucky for her Jeannie has forgiven her and kudos to Mama Mai for acknowledging her wrong, however, she needs to leave the raising of Monaco to Jeannie and Jeezy.
I love mama Mai, but... it bothers me that whenever Jeanie talks about her sexual assault, she doesn't bat an eye, but when she talks about her abusive dad, she cries. Even Jeanie cries for her moms pain, but it's not reciprocated :/
Jeannie is such a good communicator! I get so touched every time Mama Mai talks about her childhood trauma because I have seen her growth in becoming less resistent and defensive when Jeannie shares how she experienced Mama Mai as a child. You all are breaking generational curses and Monaco will benefit from the love and understanding.

Who’s crying 🥺😢 …sheesh this conversation has us all in a choke hold. ❤ thank you
Mama Mai grew up in a very different time…… based on how she responds to certain things shows this. She is getting better with understanding and sharing her feelings. My heart goes out to her because I can’t imagine being abused in that way by someone who is supposed to love you unconditionally. I am glad you Jeannie are bringing this to the surface and changing the generational trauma of not being able to speak up for yourself. I am glad you two are working together to heal as well ❤️
A lot of us grew up in strict households where you didn't have a voice as a child. We wouldn't dare ask why because we knew what we were going to get. I didn't realize just how much that affected me in life. Listening to these kinds of stories can help us get through it and grow because we know we are not alone. Thank you
I am a mom of 13 year old twins. When they were lil I never made them kiss or hug people if they did not want to. I told my children do NOT allow anyone to kiss you on the lips. My Aunt was do upset my daughter gave her cheek to be kissed and not her lips. I told my Aunt no one is to kiss my children on their lips. My children knew from a very young age to put up boundaries with people. Just because you are family don't make you a good person.
This episode was great. As a kid, I felt alone and was abused, I no longer talk to a few family members because having them in my life remainds me of how they hurt me as a kid. I haven't fully healed, but looking back, I have come a long way and feel much better.
Jeanie, the amount of compassion you show your mom who still is WRONG about the way she listens and reacts to your childhood trauma is beyond.
Mama Mai is trying and it shows! Abuse, a refugee, starting all over in a new country. She has been through SO much, and I can only imagine how much she's hiding because she's still so prideful.
Mama Mai will never change because she has to be right.
Agree. I'm so hard on my mom and she's a better listener than Mama Mai. Jeanie helps me show more unconditional love and patience towards my mom. Cause Mama Mai is alot to take lol.
@@thelifeuchoose Mama Mai literally agreed with what Jeanie was saying. She just made a joke about coco being sassy at the end. She did agree maybe yall weren't hearing her. She said she never wants a kid to feel unheard, she said she regrets being scary to Jeanie growing up.
This was healing for me too, Jeanie. My mother and I have a similar relationship to you and your mom. It’s truly a blessing that Mama Mai agreed to therapy and doing the work with you. My mom won’t don’t do it / will NEVER consider it as she’s too prideful and ALWAYS right.
Unfortunately, it’s a culture thing for us too - Most Latinos don’t go to therapy. Ugh. 😞
This episode hit home really hard. 😢 Had me in tears. I grew up in a Haitian household and, just like the Vietnamese upbringing, so many of us have had too many generational curses to break. It can be super painful…
I'm a multi-ethnic person and my mother always made me feel I was never pretty enough. My hair is curly, she complained every time she did my hair, she told me I would be fat growing up and I was naturally tiny. When I had my son I remembered this and cried because I could feel all the pain I forgot. Every time I get him ready after bath time I let him know he's so handsome, his beautiful smile just heals my broken heart. Me correcting the wrong done to me, through him has definitely healed my inner child.

Wow, this was such a great video! 🥺
I feel we all have childhood trauma and ghosts but I am so happy Jeannie and Mama Mai were able to talk through their pasts and have a better relationship now! 😊
Mama Mai cries about her own experiences, but still struggles to find empathy for her daughter. It’s tough to watch. Notice she rarely cries for Jeannie. When I told my mom about my childhood trauma, she couldn’t stop blaming herself and crying. She felt so much guilt. I don’t see that remorse with Mama Mai. But she’s starting to see her failings, and that’s a good first step.
She’s trying and making baby steps towards progress though, and that’s always positive. Keep up the good work Mama Mai
It so toxic
Oh my god. I've been reading "What happened to you" by Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah, "It didn't begin with you," and "The body keeps a scores." And my heart sunk when I heard Mama say she ran away from home and also felt unheard, and it's the same cycle Jeannie went through. Family trauma repeats it self until someone recognises, acknowledges, and breaks it.
This episode had me in tears my mom is a recovering alcoholic and chose to get sober when I had my son in 2020 to help care for him while I work. Our parents have trauma that they never got to let go of I’m so happy for this generation of parents healing our trauma and helping our parents heal theirs ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing!
Oh wow sis I'm in recovery for 24 years. I raised my son, got sober when he was 22. I AM SORRY DEAR HEART BUT TX GOODNESS FOR HER SOBRIETY, GBU & FAM

Your relationship with Mama Mai grew so much over the years. It's truly beautiful to witness.

@@HelloHunnay ugh not really 😩
From my mom passing I realized how much trauma she suffered and how it passed along. The fact that I've had to forgive both parents as a result of their death always pains me. The beautiful thing in this moment is you both have a chance to discuss and resolve your traumas and foster a beautiful relationship in life. It's such hard work but it's necessary. Keep it going!! That's such a blessing, you should cherish it forever.

Welcome Back Jeannie!!! I missed y'all so much!!! And I felt EVERY word of what BOTH of you were saying. And I can relate to this a lot myself too, especially about parents yelling out my name with anger & showing affection to random so called "relatives". See... THIS RIGHT HERE is EXACTLY what the world needs!!! And I'm glad that everything's working out for you guys! Thanks for sharing this episode Jeannie!!! I luv y'all!!! 💚💚💚
❤️❤️❤️
As a mother of a young adult, I'm learning so much about how to back-off from some of my beliefs and how to listen better and to trust my son's intuition. In my experience growing up, one of the things that hurt me most is that my folks taught me to be quiet out of respect and not to talk back so I was frustrated for not being allowed to stand up for myself. Now, as an adult, it makes me scream and yell in order to be heard, when it often times isn't warranted. Never too late to grow and learn better. I simply adore Mama Mai. "Don't forget to surprise"!!! KMSL!
I love these type of videos it hits home, especially growing up in a traditional Mexican household. I think til this day i’m fully not understood why I struggled alot / still struggle with my mental health til this day.Thank you for sharing & posting this video💕💕💕
I definitely hear you and I can relate, growing up in an African home, the culture really messes us up. I have depression and anxiety to this day and I’m turning 30 years. We really need to break the cycle.
@@greenbutterfly2421 praying for your healing 🌼🫶🏼
Love this. This is Shadow Work. Breaking generational patterns/curses helps YOU to heal. Im actually posting a shadow work pick a card TODAY. so this is very timely. This video is how it impacts your child but you can also explore the impact of these things on YOURSELF and how it affects YOU TO THIS DAY. Some people don't think it does, but until you acknowledge it, it will affect you even if you don't realize it. Love this Jeannie.
I think Mama Mai needs her own therapy before she will ever FULLY understand what Jeannie is saying. She's trying, but the differences in time ( what was culturally accepted then vs. now) and environment are not things that will change immediately. She's fully in touch with HER feelings, and she is in touch with Monaco's feelings because Monaco is a child right now and off limits but when she is older she won't be and some of those knee-jerk behaviors that she has practiced her whole life will return without a conscious effort to stop them. Good for you,Jeannie, trying to change the dynamics.
Great episode…love how you continue to grow and willing to learn as a new mom and unlearn negative habits ❤️❤️❤️ coco bean blessed to have open minded parents that love her and want to protect her❤❤
There's always room for growth!

We need more episodes like this! I love seeing the growth in Jeannie and Mama Mai! Let’s break the generational curse!
This was so powerful to watch. I’m proud of both you and your mom Jeannie. Monaco is one lucky little girl to get to experience THIS version of her mom and grandma. I’ve been afraid to have children on my own for fear of passing on traumas I haven’t yet healed from. This really blessed me thank you ❤
This is the kind of healing that everyone needs. I'm a very reserved person, and really hope that I can talk about these sensitive and delicate subjects so openly one day.
same here and I've also realized that to heal myself I need to TALK, the greatest gift anyone can give to themselves
trust both parties needs to be ready! i tried the with my Mom and boy it didn’t end well stop talking for 3 months but i think it helped me. Good Luck
@@Britneyw1735 Thank you!
This was so beautiful because normally Jeannie would really give it to her mom, but she really listened and was very empathic towards her mom!! I love you guys!!
An emotional roller coaster I do not mind being on. I was able to see my mistakes. Moms teaching moms, I love it!
Thank you Jeannie for having the difficult conversations about your traumas with your mom. I can also appreciate that Mama Mai is also willing. There are many of us, (and im 53 yo) who have yet to get over the hurdle of beginning to have an open, honest conversation with our parents. There's a certain generations that, like Mama Mai's father, believe whatever they say as parents is the last word, and that what they've done is not to be spoken about. It has, and still is doing irrepairable damage to everyone involved. I commend you both.
I ❤ this episode. Growing up, I experienced a lot of trauma. I was a senior in college when I learned that my trauma rewired my brain. As a parent and teacher, I am intentional about learning my triggers so that I can be better for my children/ students.
Thank you both for being transparent, which helps others to be transparent and heal.
Jeannie, thank you so much for this episode. It’s healing 🙏

Thank you to Mama Mai for being so vulnerable. Recently I had the same conversation with my mother. My grandfather was similar and even after all these years she also remembers the physical abuse disguised as punishment. It was also a lesson in forgiveness because she did not prohibit us from getting to know my grandfather. Time to release and break the generational trauma. Forgiveness is the power to heal ourselves and break free from those chains for a brighter future.
In the Caribbean culture have some of the same ways,
I love this! This was so deep and refreshing. Mama Mai showed true growth and evolution. I'm so proud of her. This talk seemed needed between you two. I wish other families would do this more, especially mine. This is where real healing starts!

The nightmares are true. I’ve been on my own now for 7 years and still wake up clutching myself to protect myself when my dad would hit me. My former partner use to just hold me and Tell me I was safe. This video was so necessary. 💙
Some people joke or make hitting children as something necessary for discipline. Some saying being hit til there were bruises or until they cried made them a stronger and better person. Those things get passed down in families. Sometimes hitting goes too far and in some situations parents get to take out their own frustrations and demons on their kids. I think people feel guilty saying their parents were wrong about some things.
Wow, this really triggered me and brought memories of being in unsafe company. EMDR therapy is helping so much with those scary memories. I hope and pray I never did any of this with my own child. I hope and pray I kept him safe. No wonder our world is caving in on itself. God please heal, bless and protect ALL children and adults still suffering from their awful childhood.
Mama Mai wore orange. It's a happy color but it is also connected to the Sacral chakra. GUESS WHERE MUCH OF OUR TRAUMA IS STORED?? IN THE SACRAL CHAKRA REGION! Nothing is coincidental. The Universe is ALWAYS speaking. 💜
I love your comment, and she's not wearing just a little bit of orange, it's a whole chiffon!
@@Thrivinginthespotlight I LOVE IT!😀🧡
Me too. What happened to Jeannie also happened to me also. It's so important to listen to our children . We all have some kind of trauma even our parents. Time to heal. Be safe everyone.❤
Wow, the truth is a lot of our parents (from back home) have not tackled their own trauma which they place on to their own children who are living in a completely different setting in the diaspora/Europe/USA etc... the standard of living here is SO DIFFERENT and so it effects the development of the child and their mental wellbeing..
This is beautiful… watching this video on RUclips open my eyes to so many things that have happened in my past. Thank you the Mai family for being so venerable on screen.
Such an important episode. As an expectant mom with my first child I have to be so deliberate in not repeating the horrible cycles in my family. May the Lord helps us all.
such an underrated channel! we need to rally more people to subscribe!
This was SO good!!! It was so profound when Mama Mai stated that she still kind of spies on Jeannie because she realizes that she did some thing to Jeannie and realized it was generational and based on her traumas and she doesn't want another generation of the same thing happening!!
"The ghost in the nursery." Thankful for this and makes me continue to work on my traumas and such because I realized recently that I had bad anxiety and saw how it was showing up in my 5 year old daughter.
Love these series. Trauma in different forms.

We always suppress as kids
Beautiful episode! The growth in both Jeannie and MamaMai's relarionship wrt their past is so very evident. So glad to see MamaMai recognizes those ghosts and does not want to see them repeated. Sad that her father still does not recognize the pain he inflicted.
Love this sooo much. If you are not growing, you're standing still. There is NEVER nothing new to learn or realize. Keep evolving guys.💙

Hug's and kisses maybe not but saying hello is a must. So many children are rude and do not speak to people. That's rude in most cases. Teach your children to be respectful. Hello! Hello Hunnay. 😊
I honestly have so many thoughts and memories coming up. I don’t even know what to say. 😭 so much to learn from.
I always try to express myself to my mom of the feelings I had as a little girl and how it had affected me then and affects me now.... but all she does is say she doesn't want to talk about it and that I need to grow up and move on, she literally would hang the phone up if I brought up these "ghost in the nursery" (it has happened multiple times), I I wish we could hold a conversation like this.
Wow!! This was everything!! The work that you and your mother have done on your relationship and past generational traumas is so incredibly inspiring!! Thank you so much for sharing, Jeannie 🙏🏾. I have so much respect for your transparency, candor and vulnerability...dating all the way back to the beginning of The Real.

Jeannie I think the problem here is that you start off with stories and then give an explanation later but your mom gets stuck and doesn’t understand that you’re talking about things in general now and she thinks you’re bringing up the past that she thought you guys already worked through I think you should start off explaining to her that you’re talking about things in a general aspect. ❤
I love seeing Mama mai and Jeannie speak on Breaking generational Curses 🥹 warms my heart so much because in my opinion, the Asian culture and Polynesian culture have so many similarities when it comes to our elders and honouring them no matter what, hiding our feelings, no matter how toxic your family can be you have to love them no matter what. I love you Jeannie 😩 AND mama mai of course 😌🖤 please do more videos like these! Is therapy for me in a way and also for my parents because I always play these videos on the TV for them to watch and hear too

Thank you Jeannie and mama Mai. I love videos like this. And I'm truly grateful for it. My family is very dysfunctional, but because of both of yall video like this, I'm the only one in the family that came back and talked to my mom. I'm the only one who cane forgive me mom because I know she has trauma too. Thank you mama Mai. ❤
I love your mom soooooo much. She makes me laugh all the time ❤❤❤❤
This is an amazing video!! Thank you for shedding light on this topic - generational trauma is real, especially in the Asian community. So authentic & real.
“After you’re mum do your hair your mum pass away?” 😂🤣🤣😂 no mama makes this channel !! I love love her
Jeannie don't be so rough with Mama Mai. U only have 1 momma.
She's not being rough, she's holding her accountable! It's important that we don't keep passing down dysfunctional colloquialisms such as "You only have 1 momma" We don't all get good mothers and Jeannies feelings are important. She has a right to call her mom out on things she did that hurt her.
We don’t all get good mothers 💯
jeannie thank you so much. this is the only channel where i feel my experiences and feelings and thoughts that have always been neglected re-surface. i can finally understand why i felt the way i did and have a bigger picture and it's an amazing opportunity for me to heal and i really want to thank you for shedding light on this. maybe there's so many more people going through what i've been going through as well. ❤💕
That must be why Mumamai wears vibrant colours and fashions ... because she wants to be seen and heard since she wasn't seen and heard as a child. Epigenetics .... same deal.
Mama Mai looks beautiful. Love her headwrap & color choice. I appreciate her comic relief after a heavy session. Dr. Cyndie is such a supportive doctor 💜 Thank you ladies for being vulnerable & sharing your ghosts in the nursery. Hopefully this info will help many to try & heal from generational or personal trauma & break the pattern.
Jeannie Mai I’m the same age as you. And it’s only recently that I’ve mended with my mother. We still get into arguments and my mother is hot headed like your mom. Thank you for these talks. The generational gap seems so wide and unmanageable. But with your discussions with a facilitator it seems so possible, so healing, so worth it to hold onto each other. Thank you!
These conversations are soo important. Jeannie showed healing and Mamma Mai showed soo much grown. I'm soo proud of you both. Dr. Cyndi is the best!!! This was amazing. Thank you for sharing.

keeping in mind a lot of work gets done off camera as well, I just love how much these two have grown their relationship over the years and have opened up and become way more vulnerable with one another. equally happy they are willing to share their stories, helping countless of others. sharing, understanding, and applying what’s been learned heals ♥️
Thank you for sharing your story! As a biracial child, I can relate to your relationship with your mother.
You are breaking the trauma which is so BRAVE!
Continues strength to you and your family! ❤

Watching two generations of the same family break curses and healing is just amazing...not everyone has this and sometimes there are a lot of people that have to do it alone. Am proud of Jeannie and Mama Mia 💝 keep healing ❤️
I feel mama Mai and the adults of their generation like my mom who I had a falling out with for years I decided when I had a brain aneurysm in 2017 through my healing decided when I got home from the hospital and realized like Mama Mai my mom had a similar situation with my grandpa she ran away from her toxic situation I realized she probably has much childhood trauma that she hasn’t dealt or spoken of so when we started talking again and forgiveness started all the hurt & negkect resurfaced & I had to reflect & realize that she had her own childhood traumas too & im looking forward to one day return to the Philippines and fulfill the promise I made to take care of her & provide her everything she deserves we all are imperfect & one day I can’t wait for my brother & her to finally mend their relationship too mama Mai is my spirit animal ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ u guys Jeanie 🙏🏾🖖🏾💋
I had to do my hair every single night in those hard ass tight pink 80s rollers every night. And my moms a night owl. So she’d always forget to start till at least midnight and I’d get woken up it took over an hour because she loaded my tiny head. Btw this started in preschool. And my mom never worked a day in my life and not many in her own life. And I had to sleep with my head on my hand’s just like the doctor showed. She also bleached my naturally darker hair from brown to bleach blonde starting on kindergarten. And then we had to wake up at 5:30am to be to school by 9:30am. Because she had me remove the rollers and get everything out to prepare for the 2 hours of makeup and hair and wardrobe every damn morning. I looked like JonBenét Ramsey…..the creepy over made up beauty pageant children. I hated every single moment of it. I’m crazy shy and an introvert. I hate being the center of attention. And my mom was all about social climbing and “keeping up with the jones”, and being super thin, and always looking and behaving perfectly. And spending money. I also was adopted. My biological parents were teenagers in a different state. And my adoptive parents were unable to conceive. They were also rejected from all the adoption agencies in our home state. And I can tell you it was for very good reasons. And so, I was basically a purchased piece of property to them. And forever indebted to them, I owed my whole entire life to them. And they gave zero care to if their desires were in my best interests or what made me happy. It’s a lot I can’t get into. But that very first 2 minutes of this video triggered the memory bank. And my hell of a childhood. The hair thing was the best part actually.
You never realize until you start to discuss hard topics how much you uncover, which is a lead to needed healing
she cannot stand her Mother but she still lves her. I understand it, but I would not be around her so much.
I pray she is stable enough for Parenthood
Those demons really do haunt you if you don’t deal with them correctly. They manifest in your actions and how you treat others. Its so important to heal and face them instead of running so you won’t repeat the same cycles.
Listening to you talk to your mom sounds like me talking with mine. Thanks for showing me that even with years there’s still hurdles. I admire y’all’s relationship, growth, and openness
HELLO JEANNIE THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ALWAYS ❣️
