Lessons From Our Mothers

Donna Lancaster: The pain of being “unmothered” and the journey back to love


Listen Later

🌸This week, Cressida and Isabella are joined by writer, teacher and spiritual mentor Donna Lancaster.

🌸 Donna speaks openly about her complex relationship with her mother - a woman deeply affected by the trauma of growing up in a 1940s children’s home. She shares her powerful journey of healing, forgiveness, and ultimately repairing the bond with her mother shortly before her passing. She also reflects on the lessons she’s learned from mothering her own daughter, and the importance of not hiding our imperfections from our children.

🌸Join Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson as they explore how maternal figures have shaped the lives of their guests. Each episode delves into the valuable lessons they’ve carried forward, those they’ve left behind, and the profound impact their maternal figures have had throughout their lives. 

💬 Plus, hear from listener Jodie, who shares some of the most valuable lessons she’s taken from her mum!
