In this powerful episode, Steph and Craig sit down with Bethany Webster, a writer, speaker, and transformational coach known for her pioneering work on the "Mother Wound."

Together, they unpack the deep-seated impact of the mother-child relationship, addressing how childhood dynamics and generational patterns shape adult identity and relationships.

Bethany shares her journey of healing and the personal awakening that led her to explore the complex dynamics of mother-daughter relationships.

The discussion emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries, recognizing unhealthy patterns, and reclaiming self-worth as part of the journey to healing.
