Why women repeat patterns of self abandonment, and how choosing differently helps you reclaim your power.

Have you ever heard something come out of your mouth and thought, “Oh gosh, I’ve become my mother”?

In this episode, I explore the inherited cycles we absorb from our mothers before we are old enough to question them. The way we love, sacrifice, carry responsibility, silence ourselves, ask for support, or abandon our own needs.

This is not about blaming our mothers. It is about seeing clearly.

I share how these patterns have shown up for me in marriage, parenting, perfectionism, rest, and the pressure to keep doing and holding everything together.

Because loving your mother does not mean repeating her pain.

You can honour what she survived and still choose differently.

This episode is an invitation to notice what you inherited, keep the wisdom, and leave behind the self abandonment.
