Inherited Podcast

Healing What Was Passed Down. Building What Comes Next.

Hosted by Jessica Sanchez & Dr. Valencia Henry

Inherited is the official podcast of Daughters of Both Suns, where courageous conversations meet compassionate healing. Together, hosts Jessica Sanchez and Dr. Valencia Henry explore the stories, experiences, and generational patterns that shape our mental health, relationships, identity, and overall well-being.

Each episode brings together mental health professionals, researchers, advocates, community leaders, and individuals with lived experience to discuss the impact of trauma, resilience, culture, and healing. Through honest dialogue and evidence-informed conversations, Inherited empowers listeners to better understand what has been passed down, reclaim their stories, and create healthier legacies for themselves and future generations.

Because while we may inherit pain, we can also inherit strength—and choose healing.

🎙️ Listen. Learn. Heal. Grow.

About the Podcast

Some of the most influential parts of our lives are inherited—not just our genetics, but our beliefs, coping strategies, family dynamics, cultural traditions, and emotional experiences.

Inherited explores how these influences shape who we become and how we can intentionally rewrite the stories that no longer serve us.

Whether discussing trauma recovery, mental health, parenting, neurodiversity, maternal wellness, cultural identity, or community healing, every conversation is rooted in compassion, hope, and practical insight.

Our goal is simple:

To create a space where people feel seen, understood, and empowered to heal.

Why Inherited Matters

Healing begins when we understand our stories.

Many people carry emotional burdens they never chose—patterns that have been passed through families, communities, and generations.

Inherited helps listeners replace shame with understanding, isolation with connection, and hopelessness with possibility.

We believe healing happens when we ask:

  • What shaped me?

  • What can I learn from my story?

  • What do I want to pass on?

  • How can I build a healthier future?

Every conversation is an invitation to reflect, grow, and move forward with purpose.
