What happens when we stop looking at family patterns only for the things that need healing or changing?

Judy Wilkins-Smith returns to explore the other side of Emotional DNA: the traits, reactions and tendencies that may contain possibilities we haven’t recognized yet.

Starting with Agnes’s own family — and one troublesome case of perfectionism — the conversation quickly expands into creativity, restlessness, independence, family stories, conscious and unconscious transmission, and the patterns we may be creating for the generations following us.

They explore:

• Why the same tendency can look very different in two family members
• Perfectionism as more than something to suppress
• The relationship Judy sees between action and insight
• Creativity as an urge to make, build or “birth” something
• Restlessness as energy that may need purpose and direction
• The family members who ignore assumptions about age and limitation
• How to investigate a tendency when you don’t know earlier generations
• The patterns created when we deliberately parent or live differently
• What family stories and myths may reveal about what a family values
• Why Judy encourages us to look beyond limitations and toward potential

There are also detours through genealogy, Disney, a formidable great-grandmother, a swashbuckling ancestor and a Spanish princess whose historical credentials remain decidedly under investigation.

The invitation isn’t to prove where every characteristic came from. It’s to become curious about what keeps appearing — and what might happen when we turn the coin over.
