154 "How can healing ripple through a family?" Part 2 with Onsite Alum Carl, Mindy, Sydney, and Brandon Jul 23, 2024

Show notes

Let's face it: Family relations can be messy. With so much history and ingrained patterns, believing anything could change is hard. But what we've found is that when one person does their work, it sets the stage for those around them and in their family to do the same.

Join us for the second part of our conversations with one family whose relationships with themselves, their partners, and one another have been deeply impacted by the work they did at Onsite.

Today, we'll talk with Mindy and Carl - the parents of a blended family of 8 - and their daughter Sydney and her husband Brandon. Together, they explore how the healing they've experienced on an individual level has rippled through their family system and beyond.

4:01 - The relational impact of doing Onsite on the family unit
14:10 - Building a foundation and legacy of growth and healing
24:47 - Navigating changes and additions in a blended family.

153 "How can healing ripple through a family?" Part 1 with Onsite Alum Carl, Mindy, Sydney, and Brandon Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

At Onsite, we have discovered that when one person gets healthy, they often inspire and give permission to the people around them to do the same. This is especially true in family systems.

This episode is a beautiful testament to this idea. When Carl returned from his Living Centered Program, he vowed to tell everyone he knew and help others find the same healing he'd experienced — especially those in his immediate family.

Over the next two episodes, we'll introduce you to Carl and Mindy, their daughter Sydney, and son-in-law Brandon. All four are Onsite alums, and they join Hannah and Mickenzie to share how their individual Onsite experiences have impacted their relationships with themselves, their partners, and their larger family unit.

Today, we're bringing you a conversation between Mindy and Carl and a separate conversation between Sydney and Brandon. Tomorrow, join us for a conversation with the four of them as they explore the rippling impact of healing within a family!
