Today’s interview might be one of the most important (and challenging) topics we’ve ever covered on the show. It’s something every woman deals with in one way or another – healing the mother wound. Our guest Bethany Webster indulged all of my deepest questions and curiosities around what it means to become the mother you’ve always wanted and how to do that. We discussed how this kind of healing isn’t about bashing our own mothers or the maternal figures in our lives, but the personal, collective and spiritual healing every woman faces in her lifetime. We also got into guilt, grief, anger and family systems. We talked about the mother wound as an initiation and pain as a doorway to birthing oneself. Listen closely to this one, maybe more than once and definitely join us in the Facebook group to continue the conversation if it’s relevant to you. Big love!
