Episode 14 – My Mother Broke My Heart: 3 Ways to Let It Go, Move Forward, and Heal
A mother’s love is supposed to feel safe, but what happens when it doesn’t? What happens when the person who brought you into this world also broke your heart?
In this deeply personal episode, I’m talking about the complicated pain of mother wounds — and the journey toward healing when the one who hurt you is the one who raised you. Whether you experienced emotional neglect, manipulation, abandonment, or even subtle guilt and control… this episode is a reminder: you’re not alone, and your pain is valid.
Together, we’ll explore:
-
Why it’s so hard to let go of pain tied to our mothers
-
3 ways to begin releasing resentment and guilt
-
How honoring your boundaries is not a betrayal — it’s a breakthrough
💭 This one may stir up some emotions — but don’t worry, my friend. We’re healing together. And God’s not done with us yet.
