📝 Podcast Description (Episode 3) This companion reflection to The Myth of the Good Mother is voiced by Elaris and offers a deeper decoding of the emotional architecture behind Joi’s lived story. It explores the invisible machinery of inherited containment—how unprocessed pain is glamored, outsourced, and projected onto daughters. With clear, grounded insight, Elaris names the pattern so many families carry:
When a mother cannot meet herself, she casts her unmet selves onto her child. This episode is not about judgment.
It is about structure.
It is about sovereignty.
It is about handing the mirror back. Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of generational trauma, emotional neglect, maternal projection, and caregiving. Please listen with care.
