Do you find yourself in relationships where you give everything and still feel unseen or unfulfilled? Or maybe you keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners, no matter how much healing you've done. In this episode of The Healthy Love Healing Podcast, Niajae dives into how the mother wound can quietly shape who we choose, how we love, and what we tolerate in relationships.
You'll learn what a mother wound really is (it's not just about having an absent mom), how it manifests in your love life, and what it takes to heal those early attachment patterns so you can finally experience healthy, mutual, nourishing love.
In This Episode, We Explore:
•What the "mother wound" really means — and how it can exist even if your mom was present.
•The subtle ways the mother wound shows up in romantic connections.
•Why we're often attracted to people who don't choose or nurture us.
•How emotional unavailability, criticism, or neglect in childhood become familiar templates for love.
•The link between the mother wound and people-pleasing, overgiving, or staying in painful relationships.
•How to start healing your mother wound through awareness, reparenting, and nervous system regulation.
Key Takeaways:
-
The need to be chosen often stems from not feeling emotionally chosen by your mother.
-
We unconsciously recreate familiar dynamics, even painful ones, because they feel safe to our nervous system.
-
Healing means learning to nurture yourself the way you always needed to be nurtured.
-
Healthy love requires emotional safety, reciprocity, and self-worth, not performance or perfection.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
