S2, Ep. 2: Megan Margherio on healing from a bad mother
Description
This week we return to our roots with a discussion of maternal estrangement, with Megan Margherio.
Megan is an author and trauma-informed embodiment coach. Her work is shaped by both lived experience—childhood trauma, estrangement, and complex PTSD—and deep study in nervous system repair and somatic healing. Her debut memoir, Everwoven: A Memoir. A Reckoning., is a raw, lyrical journey through estrangement, emotional survival, and the long, slow return to self.
Megan’s story is harrowing, but her self-awareness and strength is truly an inspiration and I hope this conversation is helpful to others in similar situations.
Please be aware that we discuss sexual and physical abuse.
