In this episode, I’m talking about the mother wound - something that can feel deeply painful and, at times, hard to put into words.

This isn’t about blaming our mothers. It’s about understanding our experiences.

I explore how the mother wound can form - whether that’s through emotional absence, unmet needs, or growing up in environments where we didn’t feel fully safe, seen, or protected. And I gently unpack how these early experiences can shape the way we relate to ourselves and others in adulthood -  from people-pleasing and self-abandonment to that quiet feeling of never quite being enough.

I also talk about the grief that can come with this and grieving the mother you needed but didn’t fully have. The longing that can show up when you witness other mother-daughter relationships. And the deeper emotions that can surface when you become a mother yourself, and feel both love and loss at the same time.

And, as always, I explore healing - through awareness, compassion, and learning how to reparent yourself.

If this resonates with you, I hope this episode helps you feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.
