Many of us carry pain from our mothers that runs deep. It’s a kind of hurt that isn’t easy to fix with quick answers or easy fixes. Healing from the Black mother wound means facing that pain head-on and learning to care for ourselves in a new way.

It starts with being kind to the little girl inside us who’s been hurt and shamed. Too often, we punish that inner child by talking to ourselves harshly or expecting perfection. But real healing is about letting her know it’s okay to make mistakes and that she’s worthy of care no matter what.

This wound can also show up in how we handle money and relationships. Sometimes, because of how our mothers treated us, we don’t trust ourselves to be in charge. Money feels scary, and trusting others feels risky. But healing means taking back that power and learning to say “no” when something doesn’t feel safe.

At the end of the day, healing this wound is about loving yourself fiercely, setting clear boundaries, and being patient with the process. It’s about freeing yourself from shame and walking boldly into your true self. You deserve that love. You owe that to yourself.

In this episode of the Black Mother Wound podcast, I answer some of the most asked questions from listeners. I share how my relationship with my mother shaped my views on money, identity, and body image. I also talk about setting healthy boundaries and healing from old wounds. Join me for honest, healing conversations about the Black mother wound and finding freedom beyond it.
