In this episode of the Zulu One Podcast, I’m joined by two of the people who’ve shaped not only this work, but my “why” behind it — Alicia Acosta and Cindy Biggs, my mom.
Together, we explore what it means to heal within the family system. We talk about the victim–perpetrator cycle, the power of forgiveness and responsibility, and why so much of our suffering comes from judgment, division, and inherited trauma.
Alicia shares her experience as a teacher on the frontlines of immigration challenges in Chicago, learning how compassion and boundaries intersect. Cindy opens up about her decades of government work and how personal healing begins when we focus on what we can control.
We also dive into how Family Constellations help uncover hidden dynamics, the loyalty to pain that keeps patterns repeating, and the grace that emerges when we stop trying to “fix” others and instead focus on healing ourselves.
If you’ve ever wondered how family trauma, faith, and forgiveness intersect, this episode will resonate deeply.
