6 Signs You're Still Carrying Childhood Pain: Mother Wound Symptoms

Have you ever noticed something was off in your relationships but couldn't quite name it? In this eye-opening episode, I break down the six most common symptoms I see in my clients who are healing from mother wounds. From people-pleasing and perfectionism to struggling with female friendships and boundary issues, these patterns often develop as survival mechanisms in childhood but can wreak havoc on our adult relationships. I explain how mother wounds are actually attachment traumas that stem from disruptions in emotional connection and support between mothers and daughters. Whether your mother was emotionally unavailable, highly critical, or inconsistently nurturing, these early experiences shape how we show up in all our relationships. Most importantly, I want you to know that you're not alone in this struggle, and healing is absolutely possible. These patterns don't have to be your story forever.
