Who am I, beyond who my mother has defined me to be?

For many women, the relationship with their mother shapes how they see themselves. A mother’s role is often central to a child’s sense of safety, love, and identity. But as we grow older, it’s important to understand that, no matter how complicated our relationship with our mother may be, it doesn’t have to define us or limit who we can become.

While a mother plays an important role in our early years, our identity should not be fully shaped by her actions, approval, or opinions.

We are more than the struggles of our past or the expectations set by our families. True healing starts when we realize that our lives, our choices, and our future are not determined by the challenges we’ve had with our mothers.

Healing happens when we let go of old beliefs and accept who we are becoming. By embracing ourselves and standing firm in our truth, we free ourselves to live the life we deserve. Our journey is ours to create, and the power to change lies within us.

In this episode, I unpack how your relationship with your mother shapes your identity and how it doesn’t have to define your future. I share practical steps to break free from these patterns, cut the “energetic umbilical cord,” and release shame. You’ll learn how to embrace your autonomy, honor your healing journey, and reclaim the authentic you. This episode is all about moving beyond the past, stepping into your power, and truly living your life on your terms.
