Author Geneen Roth Discusses Her New Book, ‘Love, Finally,’ the “Mother Wound” and Healing Our Inner Critical Voice

Geneen Roth is a #1 NYT bestselling author whose work focuses on the emotional patterns we absorb early in life and how they shape the way we treat ourselves as adults. Her newest book, Love, Finally explores the inner voice many people carry. It is the voice that forms in childhood and quietly influences our sense of worth, our relationships, and how safe we feel being fully ourselves. While Geneen often talks about the “mother voice” people internalize growing up, the idea is universal. Anyone who had a childhood likely carries some version of it. The conversation becomes a powerful exploration of self-compassion, emotional awareness, and what changes when people begin to question the voice they have been living with for years. Geneen has been writing and teaching about these themes for more than four decades and has appeared everywhere from Oprah to NPR. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
