They share their personal experiences and the work they are doing to heal from these wounds. Monica emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and processing anger as a part of the healing journey.

Both Monica and Shanell share their approaches to Mother's Day and the significance of honoring their mothers while also taking care of themselves. Takeaways Mother wounds can arise from a variety of circumstances, including neglect, abuse, abandonment, or enmeshment. Acknowledging and processing anger is an important part of the healing journey from mother wounds. Parenting your own children based on their individual needs, rather than projecting your own wounds onto them, is crucial. Healing from mother wounds requires seeking support, therapy, and doing the necessary inner work. Understanding the difference between self-esteem and self-worth is essential in healing from mother wounds. Healing from the mother wound is a journey that takes time and self-work. It is important to acknowledge and honor the positive aspects of the relationship with your mother, even if there are also wounds and challenges. Mother's Day can be a complex and emotional time for those who have experienced a fractured relationship with their mother or have lost their mother. Approaching Mother's Day with intention and self-care can help navigate the emotions and honor the mother figures in one's life. The mother wound is interconnected with ancestral trauma and can inform how individuals engage with their own children. Navigating the mother wound can lead to healing and growth, allowing individuals to break generational patterns and create healthier relationships with their children. The healing journey is ongoing and may involve addressing other wounds, such as the father wound. Pouring into oneself and prioritizing self-care is essential for healing and personal growth.
