Making Meaning: Deep Conversations on Life, Purpose, and The Human Experience

How to Become Who You Really Are: Healing the Mother Wound & Reclaiming Your Truth with Diane Sorenson


Listen Later

What happens when the “good girl” grows up, becomes a mother, and realizes the performance is killing her and hurting her family?

In today’s episode of Making mMeaning, Reese Brown sits down with Diane Sorensen, former teacher, mother, coach, and host of Chaos to Connection, **to unravel the mother wound, the good girl archetype, and the generational patterns that silently shape our lives.

Diane shares the story of how her daughter’s mental health crisis became the unexpected catalyst for her own awakening. Together, they explore:

  • Why perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic self-abandonment get passed down through the maternal line
  • How “good girl programming” disconnects us from our truth, intuition, and inner knowing
  • The hidden ways self-harm shows up in thoughts, patterns, and body image
  • Why awareness is a practice — not a one-time realization
  • How to build healthy boundaries (the real kind, not the Instagram kind)
  • What it means to live a meaningful life you experience, not just survive
  • And the powerful idea that we are “universal energy in individualized form”

If you’ve ever struggled with the weight of expectations, the fear of rejection, or the longing to finally live as your authentic self, this conversation will feel like a homecoming.
