Do I ever regret the time you lost because of your mother wound?

 

I do.

 

When you start healing, you can look back and see just how much your relationship with your mother shaped your choices, relationships, confidence and the life you built. And there can be real grief in realizing what might have been different.

 

In this episode, I’m talking about what we do with that regret without getting stuck in resentment. Because grieving what you didn’t get doesn’t mean your life is over. Sometimes allowing yourself to finally feel that loss is exactly what makes room for joy, possibility and the parts of yourself you thought you lost.

 

I also share what healing has looked like for me lately, including returning to my creativity and finally writing the novel I’ve wanted to write since I was a teenager.

 

We talk about:
Regretting choices you made from an unhealed place
Grieving the life you thought you could have had
Why resentment can keep an emotional debt open that no one is going to repay
Learning to give yourself what your mother couldn’t give you
Returning to dreams and desires you abandoned years ago
How healing can give you a second chance at your own life

 

Your joy did not die because of your relationship with your mother. Your possibilities didn’t either.

 

So ask yourself: What is something you wanted earlier in your life that you can reach back for now?
