This week’s episode was recorded live at the 2026 Mental Wealth Expo hosted by Charlamagne Tha God and the Mental Wealth Alliance.

I’m joined by licensed therapist and author Minaa B for a conversation about the Black mother wound, sibling relationships and what happens when the mother who hurt you becomes the mother who needs your care.

We talk about:

-How the mother wound impacts self-trust, confidence and people pleasing
-Why siblings can grow up in the same house and have completely different experiences
-Favoritism, competition and emotional neglect between siblings
-How childhood roles follow us into our adult sibling relationships
-Caring for an aging or toxic mother without abandoning yourself
-Why caregiving does not have to mean sacrificing your mental health
-Setting boundaries with family while still showing compassion
-Letting go of the need to prove you’re a “good daughter”

Healing your mother wound is not about fixing your relationship with your mother. It’s about healing the relationship you have with yourself.

Keep the conversation going on Instagram @BlackMotherWound.
