Healing Mother Wounds
Welcome back to The Saving Superwoman Podcast with your host, April Ervin — your Chief Peace Officer.
In this heartfelt and courageous episode, April explores a topic that touches many women’s lives but is often left unspoken: the mother wound. With compassion and honesty, she opens up about her own experience — even within a loving relationship — and how unhealed wounds from our mothers can affect our identity, self-worth, relationships, and emotional well-being well into adulthood.
This episode is part of the “REVEAL” season — a journey of exposing what’s been hidden so that healing and transformation can take root.
💔 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- What the “mother wound” is and how it often originates in childhood
- How emotional neglect, enmeshment, or lack of nurturance creates long-term emotional effects
- The difference between blame and healing — this isn’t about dishonoring mothers, but honoring truth
- How trauma can begin in the womb and why recognizing generational pain is essential to healing
- April’s own journey with core wounds, emotional enmeshment, and the deep restoration God brought into her life
- 10 powerful ways to begin healing mother wounds, including inner child work, boundary setting, and seeking therapy
💡 Reflection Questions (shared in the episode):
- How would you describe your relationship with your mother growing up?
- Are there moments you felt emotionally unsupported or unseen?
- How do you see these wounds showing up in your relationships today?
- Have you battled people-pleasing, insecurity, or attachment struggles?
📖 Faith Anchors & Spiritual Guidance:
- Ephesians 6:2 — “Honor your father and mother…”
- Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted…”
- Genesis 50:20 — “What was meant for evil, God turned for good…”
