#328: The Mother Wound in Men, Breaking the Silence

In this episode, Adam opens up a conversation that most men have never had — but every man has felt: the mother wound. It’s not about blame, and it’s not about drama. It’s about tracing the silent root of emotional disconnection, relational chaos, and the aching need for validation that so many men carry without even knowing why.

We explore how this wound shows up subtly — in the urge to overachieve, the fixation on emotionally unavailable women, or the need to “fix” everyone else before facing ourselves. It hides in the rage we don’t express, the guilt we can’t name, and the quiet ways we sabotage our own softness.

You’ll hear truths rarely spoken:

• Why many men feel guilt around surpassing their mothers emotionally

• How the wound manifests as either emotional shutdown or hypersensitivity

• Why some men unconsciously recreate the same feminine energy they couldn’t heal in childhood — hoping this time, it will love them back

This episode isn’t about sitting in the wound. It’s about calling it out so we can walk through it.

Because healing the mother wound isn’t just for our own liberation — it’s for every woman we’ll ever love, every child we might raise, and every version of ourselves we’re still becoming.
