In this episode I take you into the heart of the mother wound, a pattern I lived inside for years without realising how deeply it shaped my behaviour, my relationships and my leadership.
I share how performing, attuning to everyone else and abandoning my own needs became my normal, and why seeing the pattern was the moment everything began to shift. Healing this wound has brought me home to a more grounded, heart led version of myself that I did not know I was allowed to become.
I talk about the ways the mother wound shows up in the nervous system, in boundaries, in over giving and in the fear that keeps us attached to relationships long past their time. This is not about blaming our mothers, it is about reclaiming the woman underneath the coping mechanisms.
When we begin to feel safe in our bodies again, performance energy dissolves, intuition strengthens and our real identity rises.
Highlights:
(01:46) What the mother wound really is and why I missed it for so long
(04:32) How childhood attunement became adult over giving
(07:55) The moment I realised a relationship was a pattern, not connection
(11:48) Why performance energy drained my soul
(16:35) How I began healing through the body, not the mind
(21:42) The identity shift that came as I returned to myself
