Whether we realize it or not, each of us harbors a motherwound. Motherwound Coach Michaila Tyson describes it as a set of internalized limiting beliefs that we develop as a result of the early dynamics with our mothers. They are fear-based, and pass from generation to generation. These wounds, and the feelings they create within us about ourselves, are on a spectrum. But since no mother is perfect, no one escapes falling somewhere on that spectrum.

According to Michaila, those experiences become the blueprint of our life, and influence our choices and how we see and move through the world. They influence our psychology and show up in codependent traits. They also show up in our body. Michaila says she experienced IBS, bruxism, endometriosis. She says she frequently sees fertility challenges and autoimmune disorders in women she works with, as well as eating disorders and addiction.

In this episode, Michaila outlines how we can heal these wounds.

In a later episode, I’ll share the medical research that explains the mechanisms by which these limiting beliefs impact the brain and body, opening the door to disease.
