So many women in business feel like they’re carrying it all.
The launches. The clients. The team. The pressure to hold it together, perfectly, endlessly.

But what if that weight isn’t really about your business at all?

In this episode, Sarah Berckenkamp unpacks the Mother Wound; not as a concept of blame, but as a systemic pattern that silently shapes how you lead, sell, price, and serve.

You’ll hear:

  • Why your business triggers the same nervous system responses you learned in childhood.
  • How overgiving, over-delivering, and perfectionism are forms of loyalty, not weakness.
  • What it means to shift from building as “the daughter” to building as “the woman.”

If you’ve done the mindset work, invested in strategy, and still feel like something isn’t clicking; this conversation will give you language for what’s been running the show all along.

Because your business isn’t broken.
It’s loyal.
And once you see the pattern, you can finally choose something new.

👉 Perfect to share with the woman who holds it all; but isn’t fully held herself.
