Summary

Our relationship with our mothers has a profound impact on how we form bonds in adulthood. This second episode of a four-part series dives deep into the dynamics of the wounds we have with our maternal figures, exploring how early connections with our mothers shape our emotional landscape, self-expression, and boundaries. We reflect on generational patterns, societal expectations, and how these forces often keep us from becoming our fullest selves. Drawing inspiration from the work of Bethany Webster, we also examine how healing the mother wound can liberate us from unconscious patterns, paving the way for healthier, more authentic relationships. Join us for a conversation on awareness, healing, and transformation.
