In this episode of Breaking the Cycle, Laziena sits down with Yanet Dominguez for a conversation about healing, legacy, and what it really means to break generational patterns without erasing where we come from. Yanet is a first-generation Cuban immigrant, a pediatric oncology nurse, and the author of Searching for the Silver Lining. In this episode, she shares her lived experience of growing up between addiction, incarceration, and unconditional love, and how her grandmother became the steady presence that helped her imagine a different life. Together, they explore what happens when women stop abandoning themselves, how peace becomes recognizable only after chaos, and why forgiveness creates space for joy without denying pain. This conversation moves through immigration, family loyalty, codependency, self-devotion, aging, grief, and the quiet freedom that comes when you stop chasing relationships and start choosing yourself. This is not a conversation about fixing the past. It’s about making meaning from it. ✨ In this episode, we talk about: Breaking generational cycles without hating your family Choosing peace after divorce, loss, and disappointment How writing your story can give your life meaning Forgiveness as a pathway to freedom, not forgetting Why happiness in parents matters for children Searching for the silver lining without denying the storm 📘 Yanet’s book: Searching for the Silver Lining (available on Amazon) 🎙️ Podcast: Breaking the Cycle If something Yanet shared resonated with you, consider sharing this episode with someone who might need it.
