Sometimes, it feels like everything has to get done perfectly, all at once.  Often, we carry the heavy belief that if everything isn’t done just right, we won’t be loved or accepted. This pressure can drain us, pushing us to say yes when we want to say no, and to ignore our own needs to keep others happy. But this cycle only leads to exhaustion and emptiness.

True healing begins when you give yourself permission to slow down and accept that it’s okay not to have everything figured out. It’s about setting boundaries and choosing what truly matters, then letting go of the rest without guilt or shame.

When you start treating yourself with kindness and patience, you build a new relationship with yourself, one rooted in self-love and grace.

Remember, healing isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up for yourself with compassion, even on imperfect days. You deserve to feel loved and accepted, not because of what you do, but because of who you are. And when you truly believe that, your whole life begins to change.

In this episode, I reflect on how my mother wound shaped my need to control everything and take on too much. Sharing insights from a recent girls trip, I talk about learning to accept my limits, set boundaries, and stop making everything a priority. Tune in to learn how embracing your limitations can create space for true healing, self-love, and healthier relationships with yourself and others.

Healing from a mother wound really starts with taking care of yourself first. Think about your relationship with yourself like a bank account, you’ve got to make more deposits than withdrawals. Every little thing counts: setting boundaries, saying no when you need to, or just resting when you’re tired.

Setting boundaries isn’t about being mean. It’s about protecting your energy. And it’s totally okay if some people get upset or if some relationships change. Your well-being has to come first.

Please stop abandoning yourself for others. Check in with what you really need, even if it’s something small. When you appreciate yourself and show some patience, you’re teaching your heart that it’s okay to be kind to you.

And remember, safety isn’t something you wait for from outside, it comes from within. Keep reminding yourself you’re okay, even when things feel uncertain. Life doesn’t have to happen on your schedule, and that’s perfectly fine.

Take care of you. You deserve it.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on where I really am in my healing journey and how much intention it takes to choose yourself every single day. We get into what it looks like to stop pouring into people who don’t pour back, how boundaries protect your peace, and why standing ten toes down for yourself is the real glow up. I also talk about the quiet wins, the confidence, the clarity, and the freedom that start showing up when you do the work. Tune in and let’s talk about choosing you first, trusting your voice, and making emotional deposits that actually pay off.

Feeling scared doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong, it usually means you’re doing something new. And if you’re healing from a mother wound, that fear can feel even louder because you didn’t grow up feeling safe. But you don’t have to wait until you’re not afraid. You just need to know that you’ve got your own back.

That kind of safety doesn’t come from waiting for the perfect moment. It comes from showing up for yourself, little by little. It looks like being patient when fear creeps in, instead of beating yourself up. 

When you keep promises to yourself, doing the thing you said you would, or just resting when your body says it’s tired, you’re rebuilding trust. You’re teaching that younger version of you that she’s no longer alone. That someone finally sees her and protects her.

Every time you show up even with shaky hands and a nervous heart, you’re proving to yourself that fear doesn’t get to call the shots anymore. You do.

So no, you don’t need to be fearless. You just need to be kind to yourself as you keep going. 

In this episode, I’m getting real about where I’m at in my healing and how hard it can be to even see the woman I’m supposed to be. We talk about how fear and all those sneaky limiting beliefs keep us stuck in the same old loops, why having a safe, loving relationship with yourself is everything, and how ambition can actually be a part of your healing. Pull up, listen in, and let’s have an honest conversation about showing up for yourself, facing your fears, and stepping into your full power.

Healing from a mother wound is not something you finish and forget. It is a daily commitment to caring for your inner child, the part of you that carries the pain, fear, and shame from your past. Even after therapy, journaling, or cutting ties, healing continues because your younger self needs ongoing love and patience.

Trusting yourself, especially if you grew up feeling unsafe, is hard but possible. Sometimes your emotions can mislead you, so it is important to also use your mind and seek trusted perspectives to understand real danger. Finding something or someone you deeply care about can help you stay grounded and protect yourself.

In the end, healing the mother wound is a lifelong journey of loving and protecting yourself one small, patient step at a time.

In this episode, I respond to some of the rawest and most vulnerable questions from listeners about healing from mother wounds. Together, we explore how family dynamics shape our inner child, why healing is a lifelong process, and how to cultivate trust and safety within ourselves. Join me for an honest, unfiltered conversation about trauma, resilience, and the courageous path toward freedom beyond past pain.

Many of us carry pain from our mothers that runs deep. It’s a kind of hurt that isn’t easy to fix with quick answers or easy fixes. Healing from the Black mother wound means facing that pain head-on and learning to care for ourselves in a new way.

It starts with being kind to the little girl inside us who’s been hurt and shamed. Too often, we punish that inner child by talking to ourselves harshly or expecting perfection. But real healing is about letting her know it’s okay to make mistakes and that she’s worthy of care no matter what.

This wound can also show up in how we handle money and relationships. Sometimes, because of how our mothers treated us, we don’t trust ourselves to be in charge. Money feels scary, and trusting others feels risky. But healing means taking back that power and learning to say “no” when something doesn’t feel safe.

At the end of the day, healing this wound is about loving yourself fiercely, setting clear boundaries, and being patient with the process. It’s about freeing yourself from shame and walking boldly into your true self. You deserve that love. You owe that to yourself.

In this episode of the Black Mother Wound podcast, I answer some of the most asked questions from listeners. I share how my relationship with my mother shaped my views on money, identity, and body image. I also talk about setting healthy boundaries and healing from old wounds. Join me for honest, healing conversations about the Black mother wound and finding freedom beyond it.

Many of us play games with others thinking it helps us keep peace. But those games don’t heal the wounds, especially the deep ones from our mothers. Healing means something real: reclaiming your authority and being loyal to yourself above all else.

It means setting firm boundaries so no one can disrespect you or “play in your face.” Real safety starts inside, where your own care and approval come first. If you don’t protect yourself, no one else will. Loyalty to yourself can’t be only when it’s easy; it has to be unconditional.

Too many let others disrespect them just to avoid conflict, but that peace comes at a cost: your happiness and dignity. Let others be upset if they want. You have to be your own protector.

Healing your mother wound is a lifestyle of self-loyalty. It brings peace, freedom, and joy. So stop letting people play games with you. Stand up, set boundaries, and protect your peace. You deserve that. You owe that to yourself.

In this episode, I want to share with you what healing really looks like when it starts with being loyal to yourself. We’ll talk about setting strong boundaries, recognizing when you’re betraying yourself, and how to stop letting others play in your face. I’ll also share why healing your mother wound is a lifestyle and why loyalty to yourself is the foundation for real peace and ease in your life. If you’ve been playing nice at the expense of your own well-being, this episode will help you reclaim your power, one bold choice at a time.

Topics Covered:

(00:00:00) Episode Snippet

(00:00:20) Welcome to The Black Mother Wound Podcast

(00:01:34) Living with ease is a mindset

(00:04:30) Real ease comes from loyalty to self

(00:06:27) Approval isn’t safety

(00:10:06) Be willing to be alone

(00:11:26) How about YOU showing up for yourself first?

(00:13:13) Where do I betray myself?

(00:15:27) Healing is a lifestyle

(00:16:39) You are a resource

(00:19:04) Stop tolerating relationships that make you unsafe

(00:21:01) Prostitution is a self-betrayal 

(00:22:56) Protect yourself without apology.

(00:24:00) Ruffle all the feathers

Key Takeaways: 

"Safety really starts with the relationship you have with yourself."

"You will betray and abandon yourself in a heartbeat for someone else, for something else, and that is because you have no sense of loyalty to yourself."

Many of us grew up feeling unwanted, like our very being was too much, like our presence took up space that no one wanted to give. Sometimes, it began at home. Sometimes, it was the way our mother looked at us, spoke to us, or ignored us. And slowly, that feeling settled in. A quiet, heavy shame that followed us everywhere.

But a feeling is not a fact.

Carrying the belief that you're a burden makes life heavier. It pushes you away from connection, even when your heart aches for it. That’s why healing begins with truth. You were never too much. You were never the problem. You were a child in need of care, safety, and love. And that love begins with you.

You are not a burden. You are worthy of love, of rest, of joy, and of being known and welcomed. It is never too late to believe that.

In this episode, we talk about feeling like a burden and how it hurts our self-worth. Healing starts when we comfort the little child inside us who felt alone and unwanted. You’ll learn how to love yourself more and find places where you truly belong. Tune in to discover simple steps to feel safe, grow, and shine as your true self.

💬 Episode Summary

Hey sis. This week’s episode is a heart-to-heart. I’m showing up a little late (your girl’s flying solo on production), and I’m letting you know we’re taking a June break from full episodes.

But this episode is the one if you’ve ever felt like you needed permission to enjoy your life. I talk about healing through joy, how play is part of reparenting, and how that self-doubt you feel isn’t truth—it’s programming.

If you've been stuck in “who am I to…?” energy, this one’s your reminder that you don’t need permission. Just go.

⏱️ Time-Stamped Chapters

[01:55] Late But Here
Why this episode dropped late and how juggling travel, RESOLVE, and podcasting is a lot—but I’m still showing up.

[02:21] June Break Ahead
Announcing the June hiatus and encouraging you to catch up on past episodes during this time.

[02:50] Go Back and Listen Again
The wisdom hits different the second time—revisit older episodes and notice what new truths show up.

[03:19] Mulch & Memorial Day
A quick life update: mulch delivery, gardening joy, and stepping into something new just for me.

[04:09] This Week’s Topic: Permission
This episode centers around giving yourself permission to do something new—something joyful and healing.

[06:36] Recognizing Internalized Voices
I name the internal voice of doubt and realize—it’s my mother’s. That programming still lingers, even during joy.

[08:21] Joy Is Part of Healing
Expression and play are not extra—they're medicine. Depression lifts when we start to express and explore joy.

[10:49] Creating New Data
Healing means gathering evidence through experience—doing things that build trust in yourself, even when it’s scary.

[12:46] Redefining Without Permission
When no one gave you the authority to be you, you’ve got to crown yourself. That’s where the grief and power collide.

[14:13] From Doubt to Knowing
The inner “I don’t know anything” voice is a lie. And we prove it wrong by doing the damn thing—again and again.

[15:36] The Grief of Becoming
Becoming yourself brings grief too—letting go of old identities that were never really yours to begin with.

[16:55] What You Never Got
Doing joyful things can feel humiliating when you’ve never had someone affirm your desires. That’s real—and it hurts.

[17:53] Feel It to Heal It
All those feelings you avoid? They surface through new experiences. That’s how healing works. It’s not optional.

[18:41] You’re Not Out of Place
Imposter syndrome isn’t about the room—it’s about old wounds. You’re not out of place. You’re just stretching.

[20:02] Community Normalizes Your Joy
Find your people. Whether it's gardening or anything else, being around folks who reflect your joy back to you matters.

[21:29] Collect Evidence That You’re Enough
Every new, joyful thing you try is proof that you’re not who they said you were. That’s how we break the cycle.

[21:59] You’re Not Alone
This healing journey can feel lonely. But I promise—you are not alone. This podcast is proof.

[22:58] Do It Just for You
Try something that feels good for you—even if it’s “frivolous.” Capitalism li

Healing from deep wounds is never easy, especially when those wounds come from our closest relationships, like the one with our mother. It’s tempting to avoid the pain or push it aside, but real healing starts when we take a brave step to look deeper at our struggles.

When we allow ourselves to feel sad, angry, or confused, we begin to understand what we need. This is when healing really starts. It is okay to feel pain and not pretend everything is fine. Taking care of the hurt child inside us is very important. This little part of us was hurt and needs love. When we give ourselves that love, we can begin to feel better.

Everyone’s healing is different, but it always begins when we stop hiding our pain and start loving ourselves. That is when we can find real peace.

In this episode, I talk about why healing can’t happen if we ignore our emotions. Many of us try to fix the outside without looking at what’s really going on inside. I share why it’s so important to express your feelings through words, art, movement, or whatever works for you. If you’ve ever felt unseen, like you’ve been carrying sadness without knowing why, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about the power of expression, creativity, and facing those big emotions head-on.

"You can only start to understand where you are and what needs to be healed in you when you decide to express in whatever way that is for you."– Jennifer Arnise
