Summary
In this episode Jamie chats with Bethany Webster, author of Discovering Your Inner Mother, all about the Mother Wound.
After hearing Bethany speak on another podcast, Jamie was forever changed. Discovering the Mother Wound filled in so many gaps for her about why she feels the way she does, and validated so many of her experiences with her own mom.
In this episode, Bethany and Jamie dive into:
- What the Mother Wound is
- How it's a direct result of our patriarchal society
- How the mother gap (what you needed from your mother vs. what you got) shows up in adult relationships
- How the stories we tell ourselves stem from our early childhood experiences, and our relationships with our mothers
- How to set boundaries with your mother (if needed and desired)
- The shame and guilt that women often experience when their relationship with their mother isn't what they think it should be
- How to grieve the relationship you want, but may never have
and more.
Jamie also dives into some of her own personal experiences and talks about how Bethany's work has been the catalyst to so much personal growth and discovery for her.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Jamie Scrimger here, and you're listening to The Kickass Step Mum Podcast. |
| 0:07.8 | I'm a wife, a mom, a stepmom, a coach, a conversation opener, and a BS caller. |
| 0:14.6 | Eight years ago, I found myself sitting on the bathroom floor, bawling my eyes out, |
| 0:18.6 | wondering what the heck I was thinking, marrying a man with |
| 0:21.1 | three kids and an ex-wife. Look, don't get me wrong. I was madly in love. The kids were great. |
| 0:26.8 | But being a stepmom is, well, it's just complicated. If you know, you know. As a 26-year-old |
| 0:33.9 | with zero experience in the parenting department, I went to the internet for support, |
| 0:43.3 | but I was disappointed with what I found. So I decided to create the type of support I was looking for. |
| 0:49.3 | Raw, real solution-focused conversations about all things motherhood, stepmotherhood, and living at kick-ass life. Life can be hard, really freaking hard, but it's entirely possible to thrive amongst the tough stuff. |

| 1:36.6 | So today's guest is Bethany Webster and she is the author of discovering the inner mother, |
| 1:42.6 | a guide to healing the mother wound and claiming your personal power. I have told so many people to read this book. I literally told my sisters that if they |
| 1:45.2 | don't read it, I'm going to lock them in a room and read it to them out loud because it's such an |
| 1:49.0 | important conversation. I really just think that everyone should be diving into this kind of stuff. |
| 1:53.8 | So Bethany Webster is a writer, an international speaker. She's a transformational coach. |
| 1:59.1 | And she blends her research on intergenerational trauma, |
| 2:03.1 | feminist theory and psychology with her own personal story with the mother wound. And her book |
