“The most important thing you can do for either spiritual or conventional success is to heal the mother and father wound.”

Today, I sit down with my client David Cutler to explore what it truly means to embody the work. David shares openly about his own journey of healing the core wounds that live beneath the surface of so many of our struggles, especially the mother and father wound. He explains how these unconscious patterns shape our self-worth, relationships, and even our ability to succeed in business, and why addressing them is the gateway to accessing our deepest power.

We dive into how unresolved insecurity keeps us stuck in cycles of proving, striving, and seeking validation, and how everything begins to shift when we finally turn inward. David shares how internal healing creates inevitable transformation in our external reality, from the way we show up in relationships to the opportunities that flow into our lives.

If you’ve been doing the “work” but still feel blocked, or you’re craving a deeper integration of healing that moves beyond the surface, this episode will remind you that real power isn’t about fixing yourself, it’s about remembering who you are and living from that truth.
