Break the Cycle, Create a New Legacy
In this talk, Kathi Sohn invites mothers to explore how unresolved childhood patterns and survival-mode parenting affect their ability to connect with their teens.
Through relatable stories and trauma-informed insights, Kathi helps audiences reframe emotional triggers, understand the hidden roots of reactive parenting, and learn how nervous system healing fosters real resilience.

Are You Running Your Life,
Or is Your Life Script Running You?
We all carry hidden beliefs shaped in childhood—what Kathi Sohn calls our “Life Script.” These subconscious vows, written when we were too young to question them, quietly dictate how we show up at work, in relationships, and as parents.
In this eye-opening talk, Kathi helps audiences uncover the emotional decisions made in early life that still drive their adult patterns—especially fear, self-doubt, and people-pleasing. Attendees leave with new awareness and hope—knowing that change is possible, and their story isn’t set in stone.
