In this rich bubbly conversation I am delighted to share with you, Bethany Webster (author of Discovering the Inner Mother) breaks down the spiritual roots of the mother wound and how it distorts our very first relationship with life itself.
There are four levels of the mother wound and we will talk about how patriarchy filters through the mother daughter bond, creating a double bind where becoming yourself risks losing your mother, and staying close to her risks losing yourself.
Our conversation traces how this plays out as parentification, insecure attachment, body shame, and the exhausting pattern of performing for love that should be given freely. Bethany shares the true story of moving into a century old chapel dedicated to a mother and daughter and how that space held her through four years of deep deconstruction, perimenopause, unpreferred logistics, and grief.
This is an(other) invitation to stop believing the wound is just personal, just parenting, just marriage, just life, and to see it instead as an adaptation that can be healed.
I'm so excited to share our conversation with you. If you have ever felt too much or not enough, this conversation offers real validation and a path toward resting in your own worth, becoming whole, and reclaiming the sovereignty that was never actually gone, just waiting to be remembered. HEAL YES.
Bethany just launched her Substack called "Living Undaunted" where she continues to explore the many facets of this topic that affects so many of us.
