  • Episode 3 | Mommy Dearest : Mummy Issues
    In this episode we are joined by Alicia and Vicky to address the taboo around having ‘mommy issues’. Why is it so common yet more taboo than daddy issues?  We discuss the trauma behind having a parent that is emotionally unavailable and the effects it has on us as adults. How do we navigate through life despite not growing up in an emotionally safe environment?  We refer to our inner child work and what we do to heal and not pass down the same toxic parenting we received.
