Our childhood affects the everyday decisions that we make. Whether it is about dating, starting a job, reviewing our finances before and after the month is over, or even starting our own business.
When our parents teach us how to use money, they also teach us their values.
When we witness as children how our parents treat each other, that affects us later in how we choose the person we date or even if we want to get married and start our own families.
During our childhood, we learn from our family, school, and our environment in general what is okay and not okay to do, and sometimes we get confused when our family teaches us something different from what our environment/school teaches us.
All these examples we take in as children affect us later in life, affecting the decisions or choices we make.
When I work with entrepreneurs in my practice, many of them want to know why they have fears, feel like they are not enough, why they can’t get enough sleep when they have to show up confident with customers.
That is why I ask them, "what was your childhood like?”
Every time I ask that question, my clients look with big eyes at me because they wonder, “What does my childhood have to do with my problem?”
The answer is in all the above-mentioned examples and even more.
Anything you experienced growing up is going to affect you on a subconscious level. Anything we witnessed as children will stay in our subconscious.
Anytime you force yourself to get out of bed to go to work or see customers, and you cannot figure out what is going on, it is possibly related to a memory from your childhood. Possibly your mother or father had issues at work or had worries about putting a meal on the table.
You may not have these worries. However, the memory of your parents losing sleep stays with you.
That is why I offer ancestral healing to my entrepreneur clients, to help get rid of limiting beliefs and mental blockages. By understanding your childhood and being able to say, “that is what my family went through, but that is not my story. I can start my own beautiful chapter and be so successful that I will be proud of myself!”

Dusya Lyubovskaya, Executive Contributor Brainz Magazine
Dr. Dusya Lyubovskaya is a leader of ancient holistic modalities. After growing up with an abusive father, her trauma caused her to develop health issues that doctors could clear diagnose. Although Dusya has been passionate about science since her youth, she went into the medical field because she had to be the breadwinner at an early age but never gave up her dream of going into science. During her work taking care of patients, she realized there was more than western medicine could offer. However, she felt she was running into walls. Dusya took care of both of her parents, who died from terminal cancer, and knew that she could at least ease their suffering with the holistic modalities she learned about growing up. After her mother’s passing in 2014, she discovered meditation and Reiki, and a brand new world opened to her full of opportunities! She got trained in reiki, and after a year, she was encouraged by many clients to get paid because she appeared to be very talented.
She would perform energy healing on and off on the side, and in 2018 with additional training, became a holistic life as her clients around the world greatly appreciated her positive energy and experience. Dusya has also evolved in her medical career and started speaking for health care agencies as well as government agencies seeking her advice and expertise. Dusya discovered that many chronic health issues in her clients were caused by trauma so she used her western medicine knowing combined with ancient healing modalities and has been very successful. Meanwhile, Dusya has expanded to helping entrepreneurs who struggle to make more than 5k by helping them increase their money mindset and helping them get unstuck by helping them with inner child soul retrieval and helping them reconnect with their inner child as every issue we face as adults is affected by what we learned as children.
