Moms and Motherhood: Navigating Pain, Healing, and Boundaries | Episode 6

In episode six, we dive deep into the topic of our relationships with our mothers. We discuss the challenges, pain, and complexities of growing up with moms who had their own struggles. From dealing with body image issues and chronic pain, to enduring abusive environments and neglect, we share personal stories of how these experiences shaped us. Despite our mothers' shortcomings, we talk about finding compassion, seeking healing through therapy, and setting boundaries. This episode is a heartfelt conversation meant to encourage others to communicate with their moms, understand their own history, and work towards healthier relationships.
