Episode 120 - Mothering the Mother: Healing our Mother and Sister Wounds with Danni and Joss
Welcome back to another episode in the series about embracing imperfection in Aware Parenting. In this powerful episode, Danni Willow and I share some reflections from our recent extraordinary Aware Parenting Retreat about the truths of motherhood and how embracing imperfection as mothers can be both liberating and deeply healing.
We talk about the mother wound and sisterhood wound, two often unspoken pains that show up in our longing for connection, in our guilt, and in the quiet ache for holding and unconditional love. Whether it’s the absence of nurturing we craved from our own mothers or the comparison, competition, hurt and disconnection that can arise between women, these wounds carry a weight that many mothers silently bear and that make embracing our imperfection harder.
We share the transformative power of what unfolded on our retreat and how being vulnerable together with other women, and being deeply held supports transformation and healing.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough, or if you’ve longed for a kind of mothering or sisterhood that you didn’t receive, this episode will speak to your heart. It’s an invitation to step into compassion, find connection and holding and offer yourself radical acceptance.
We talk about the power of receiving deep support to bring more closeness, connection and capacity within our families and the need for mothers to be held in order to mother.
