194. The Mother Wound Cuts Deep

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the intricate and multi-layered subject of the Mother wound. Despite the societal idealisation of mothers as kind, loving, and supportive figures, the reality is more nuanced for many women. Often, our mothers struggled to fulfil this role due to their own challenging upbringings, past abuse, or neglect. Michelle Gomez, a leader in helping women heal from the Mother wound, shares her story of growing up with a mother who treated her as a utility rather than a daughter. She was valuable when she was useful. She was thrown out of home when she dared disagree with her mom. Michelle kept her struggles with her Mom a secret for years but when she finally told the truth she received an outpouring from women who were silently enduring similar issues with their mothers, leaving them feeling isolated. Michelle specialises in working with Latina, Black, Indigenous, and women of color, but her insights will resonate deeply with all of us. Join us as we explore the complexities and healing processes surrounding the Mother wound.
