Oh this is a juicy one. Today I'm talking with Bethany Webster about the effects of patriarchy on mother-daughter relationships and other taboo topics like the impact of our mothers' struggles with self-esteem on our own sense of self. I was surprised to discover that Bethany and I are in the same boat with our mother wounds.

Bethany is a writer, transformational coach, international speaker and what you could call a midwife of the heart. Her work is focused on helping women heal the mother wound so that they can fully claim their brilliance, own their power and live as their authentic selves. Her work has appeared in Elephant Journal and the California Journal of Women Writers. She is the author of the forthcoming book “Healing the Mother Wound: Move Beyond What Your Mother Never Gave You and Become the Woman You’re Meant to Be.”
