Episode Overview

Do you ever struggle to navigate your relationship with your mother? If so, you won’t want to miss this episode.

We’re back with another guest this week, therapist Maggie Nick. Maggie specializes in what she calls “the mother wound” which is an internalized set of core beliefs about who we are, our worth, and our value

Maggie calls herself a recovering people-pleasing “perfect child.” Her therapy practice focuses on healing low self-worth, shame resilience, and parenting and reparenting.

Join us as we discuss what the mother wound and how it can contribute to body shame and disordered eating. We also cover boundary setting and how we can start healing ourselves from the pain of navigating challenging relationships with our mothers.

We hope you love this conversation as much as we did. Enjoy!
