Reflecting: Kailin’s Chapter

In this bonus episode, I’m sitting with the story of Kailin—through the lens of a mother’s love. This isn’t just a reflection on the events; it’s a conversation about the quiet, unshakable bond between a mother and her child… and what it means to carry that love through pain, loss, and resilience.

Kailin’s story brings up so much—grief, strength, and the unspoken sacrifices so many mothers make in silence. This episode is a soft space to honor that truth, to explore how what we speak into our children becomes part of who they are, and to gently reflect on how love, even when unseen, shapes everything.

We delve into Kelly McDaniel’s insightful book, Ready to Heal: Helping Women Heal from Addictive Relationships. This work explores the and introduces the concept of “Mother Hunger”—the deep longing for maternal nurturance, protection, and guidance. McDaniel examines how early attachment wounds and societal norms contribute to destructive relationship patterns and offers pathways toward healing and self-awareness.
