Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm joined by Self-love & Expansion Coach Ju Cordina. Ju shares the story of divine intervention, determination and failure that led her to her soul's purpose. We talk about the downward emotional spiral that floored her and how it was her relationship with her mother that prompted her to resurface and delve deep into rewriting her own unconscious behavioural codes. We discuss the 'Mother Wound' or code as Ju prefers to call it, and examine when, if ever, some of us stop blaming our parents for our mistakes and choose to start taking responsibility for our lives. Ju talks about how the laws of Hermetic philosophy have influenced her work and how her latest creation, a prayer group that enables women to honour the wisdom of the soul and the love of the divine came into being. So please join me as look at life through a different lens.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Ju became a self love coach through a mix of divine intervention, determination, and mistakes, evolving from spiritual curiosity through corporate burnout to breakdown and healing.
She reframed the idea of the mother wound instead as ‘mother code’ because labelling ourselves as wounded reinforces negativity instead of encouraging healing.
Mothers shape our understanding of femininity in two ways: how they treat us directly and how they interact with the world around them.
The ‘good girl complex’ shows up as people pleasing and unrealistic standards, coming from childhood attempts to control unstable environments.
Healing requires forgiveness, which means seeing our parents as real people with their own struggles and limitations.
Becoming a mother herself gave Ju a new perspective, leading her to apologise to her own mother.
Ju's prayer group uses hermetic philosophy to offer a non religious approach to connecting with divinity and self love.
Ju believes healing starts with spirit rather than human limitations, she believes in seeing challenges as doorways rather than obstacles.
BEST MOMENTS
"I feel like if I'm being completely honest, it's been a mixture of divine intervention, determination, and probably just a lot of getting it wrong."
"A belief is just a thought that you thought so many times it becomes a behaviour. So if we keep saying, I have this mother wound, I need to heal my mother wound, you are literally doing the opposite of what you desire to do."
"The difference between the mother code and the father code is that for us, our relationship with our moms is survival... when there is a fracture between us and our mums, our nervous system literally sees it as life or death."
"Forgiveness does actually set you free. It makes you feel free because you're not carrying this tie, this energetic tie to something that is such a low vibration that will always keep you, won't allow you to fly."
"We are a spirit in a human body, we are not a human with a spirit, you know, spirit comes first."
