We say stuff like, “They drive me crazy!” But the truth is the only reason they can, is because we allow it.

But if you have healing to do because you have generational patterns to break and children to leave a better legacy, then protecting your peace is paramount to the process.

And in this episode, Vanessa hosts a tough conversation on what boundaries may be necessary for your current circle.

 

 

THE PODCAST

MOTHERHOOD UNMASKED is for moms, like you, struggling to survive your own childhood trauma in addition to the typical demands of motherhood, but hiding your struggle behind a mask.

If you’re raising children while carrying unresolved childhood wounds from traumatic experiences, including abuse, abandonment, and neglect and you struggle with expressing compassion, showing up with confidence, and connecting with your child, this podcast will inspire your own healing journey and empower you to break the negative cycles threatening your family.

Change starts with you believing that when it comes to you being the mother of your children; you are the woman for the job. And I love empowering you to do it.

YOUR HOST

Hi, I’m Vanessa. A pediatrician, stay at home mom of three, and multi-trauma overcomer, hosting real talk, including the childhood trauma keeping you from confidently showing up as the mom your children need. Because I'm over you suffocating under “the everything’s fine” mask.
