"Learning about the inner child process connected things in a way that I had never thought of... never consciously recognized, and it was stark. And it started to explain so much."
In this emotional and deeply transformative episode, I sit down with Hilary Valentine to talk about her journey inside The Mothership and the powerful shifts she experienced as she healed her mother wound. Hilary shares how the sudden loss of her father became a turning point that pushed her to re-examine her life, her family dynamics, and the patterns she was carrying. What followed was a profound exploration of inner child work, where she uncovered hidden layers of codependency, guilt, and unspoken grief that had been shaping her relationships since childhood.
Through the process, Hilary moved from intellectualizing her pain to fully feeling and releasing it in her body, transformations that rippled into her relationship with her mom, her husband, her kids, and even her business. She bravely speaks about the moments of breakthrough that shifted her identity from people-pleasing and self-doubt into embodied clarity, freedom, and authentic self-expression.
If you’ve ever struggled with family dynamics, carried unprocessed grief, or felt the weight of expectations shaping your choices, Hilary’s story will inspire you to trust the process of inner healing and remind you that breaking generational patterns is not only possible, it changes everything.
