Friends,
In this episode, I explore the mother wound: how early relational experiences shape identity, distort boundaries, and quietly influence how we relate to ourselves, others, and even God. I focus my discussion primarily on the mother-daughter relationship.
Many daughters grow up learning to perform for love, manage emotional climates, and abandon their own needs in order to maintain connection. Over time, these adaptations can harden into identity.
This episode is especially for those who have done years of healing work, yet still feel something unresolved beneath the surface.
And for those listening who wonder if this applies to you, you may find your own story reflected here, or gain deeper compassion for those you love.
Key Takeaway:
You are not defined by what was missing. You are being restored into who you were created to be.
