Mothering Ourselves Mindfully

24. The Mother Wound


Listen Later

In this episode, I share a reflection inspired by a recent Healing Your Lineage call in our FLOURISH community on how the mother wound is playing out in real-time in my life.

Key insights from this episode:

  • The mother wound involves inherited beliefs and programming passed down through family lineages, influenced by cultural and societal patterns
  • My personal journey with people-pleasing and tendency to protect others' feelings stems from seeking unconditional love and acceptance that was unavailable in my relationship with my mother
  • A pivotal moment in my healing came through exploring my birth stories and realizing how I held back from sharing positive experiences to protect others
  • The importance of stepping into celebrating and embracing our lives without apology, while recognizing that others' reactions reflect their journey, not ours

This episode offers a raw look at how the mother wound can influence our behavior in subtle ways, even after significant healing work. It's a reminder that healing is ongoing and that each new awareness creates opportunity for growth.
