In this episode Jamie chats with Bethany Webster, author of Discovering Your Inner Mother, all about the Mother Wound.

After hearing Bethany speak on another podcast, Jamie was forever changed. Discovering the Mother Wound filled in so many gaps for her about why she feels the way she does, and validated so many of her experiences with her own mom.

In this episode, Bethany and Jamie dive into:

• What the Mother Wound is
• How it's a direct result of our patriarchal society
• How the mother gap (what you needed from your mother vs. what you got) shows up in adult relationships
• How the stories we tell ourselves stem from our early childhood experiences, and our relationships with our mothers
• How to set boundaries with your mother (if needed and desired)
• The shame and guilt that women often experience when their relationship with their mother isn't what they think it should be
• How to grieve the relationship you want, but may never have

and more.

Jamie also dives into some of her own personal experiences and talks about how Bethany's work has been the catalyst to so much personal growth and discovery for her.

Ashley Machele of Our Splendid Life is back on the show. You may remember her from our 6th episode back in 2018.

If you haven't been with us since the beginning, I recommend going back and listening to that episode.

We talk about Ashley's decision to give up primary residency and let her daughter go live with her father. We also touch on parental alienation and how she dealt with this in her own co-parenting relationship.

Ashley also shares how and why Parallel Parenting works for her family dynamic.

In this episode:

• we get an update on how the long distance co-parenting relationships is going (Ashley lives in New York with her husband and three other children and her daughter lives in Florida)
• how Ashley has learned to let go and gained perspective on what she's really striving for when it comes to her relationship with her daughter
• the challenges that come with long distance co-parenting
• ego and how she's taken that out of the equation
• the power of really understanding your children, how she uses love languages to foster her relationship
• Ashley and I also dive into social media and the struggle that comes with sharing your life and your perspective online when there are other players in the gameThis was such a great conversation with Ashley.
