Mother’s Day can bring up a swirl of emotions—joy, grief, resentment, or longing. If your heart feels tender around this time, this episode and meditation is for you.

We explore the often-invisible “mother wound”—not what was said, but what wasn’t. It lives in the quiet spaces: the comfort that never came, the sensitivity that was too much, the silence you learned to keep just to feel safe.

These early emotional imprints shape our adult patterns:

– People-pleasing

– Silencing your truth

– Ignoring your needs

– Struggling to set boundaries

– Feeling like you’re too much or never enough

As a self-love coach, I help women notice how their inner critic was often inherited—absorbed from caregivers and culture. In this episode, I guide you through a gentle process to begin healing: my signature CUDDLE UP Method, which invites you to sit with what hurts, listen to what needs love, and become the supportive presence you always deserved.

Your inner child doesn’t need fixing—she needs you to stay and be with the big emotions that perhaps your caregivers couldn't.

Come home to yourself, one loving breath at a time in this guided meditation to cuddle up with your inner child.

Sending you lots and lots of love,

Audrey

Self-Love Coach | Helping You Heal & Trust Your Inner Wisdom

In today’s episode of Mindful Pause, Audrey sits down with healer and spiritual guide Meredith Rahm to dive into the seven core wounds of the modern priestess—and how we can heal them. These ancestral wounds, deeply rooted in our DNA, often show up as fears, insecurities, and blocks that hold us back from our true power.

Meredith walks us through the seven wounds:

1. The Persecution Wound: A fear of being seen and stepping into our power, healed through the safety of sisterhood.

2. The Sisterhood Wound: A struggle to trust other women, softened by opening up in safe, guided women’s circles.

3. The Money Wound: Guilt around charging for our spiritual gifts, shifted through creating sacred exchanges and embracing abundance.

4. The Isolation Wound: The pain of feeling outcast, remedied by joining likeminded communities and embracing connection.

5. The Sensitivity Wound: Overwhelm from our deep sensitivity, transformed by learning energetic boundaries and seeing sensitivity as a superpower.

6. The Unworthiness Wound: Imposter syndrome and self-doubt, healed through witnessing and community support.

7. The Wound of Self-Condemnation: Negative self-talk and shame, lifted by reconnecting with our innate wholeness and divine nature.

And if you’re ready to dive deeper, Meredith’s Way of the Priestess Initiation kicks off on March 13, 2025. It’s a year-and-a-day journey of healing, empowerment, and transformation in sacred sisterhood. I can’t recommend it enough. https://www.meredithrom.com

If you’re ready to explore these wounds and reclaim your power, this episode is for you.
