The Healing We Inherited From Our Mothers (What We Choose to Keep)

from Getting To After: A Safe and Empowering Space for Midlife Women · host Chatone Morrison Host, with Co-host Morganne Bustos

This week on Getting to After, we’re talking about something that can be easy to forget unless we truly pay attention: What we carry from our mothers. (Trust us...we forget too!)It's not just who they are now, but who they were when we were growing up…and how their choices, their beliefs, and even their attempts to help us shaped the way we care for ourselves today.In this episode, we share real stories from our own lives, from homeopathic remedies and body awareness to moments that were confusing, uncomfortable, and even life-changing. We talk about how those early experiences show up in our habits, our healing, and the way we move through midlife now.This conversation isn’t about placing blame. It’s about noticing. Because sometimes what we bring along is supportive, but other times it's time for a shift. The best part is that you get to decide.We’ll guide you through a short grounding, introduce a simple acupressure point you can use anytime, and walk you through an EFT tapping session to help you explore what’s showing up for you in your own body. If something comes up while you’re listening, you’re not alone. That’s part of the work. In this episode, we explore:✨Early influences from our mothers and how they shaped our approach to healing✨The connection between body awareness and emotional patterns✨How to recognize what still supports you and what may be ready to shift✨A simple acupressure technique to calm the body✨Guided EFT tapping for reflection and release______📘 Spring 2026 Magazine is available NOW (includes extended grounding + deeper reflection)https://bit.ly/G2A-spring26Your support helps us continue our work and provide resources for women and children impacted by domestic violence.💬 Want to connect or work with us?
