110. The Messy Middle: Grief, Anger, & Self-Trust In Healing from a Childhood Mother Wound
Description
In this episode of Mother Mayhem, we’re talking about something every daughter eventually faces on the healing journey: the messy middle.
You’ve moved beyond survival mode: less hypervigilance, fewer shutdowns but freedom and peace still feel out of reach.
Instead, you’re navigating grief, anger, second-guessing, perfectionism, and the uncomfortable work of slowing down.
It’s confusing, frustrating, and messy. And yet…it’s where the deepest growth happens.
Together we’ll explore:
-Why grief and anger are essential parts of healing, not setbacks.
-How second-guessing shows up in the messy middle (and what to do about it).
-What it means to value rest, quiet, and connection without chaos.
-Practical ways to hold both grief and light through “Yes, And.”
-How to stop picking up every single thought trauma brain throws your way.
All of the questions in this episode came directly from daughters inside the Mayhem Daughters community.
