The mother has a distinct role. What is the specific sacrifice of good mothers?

Myrna Young hosts Vanessa Bennett, author of "The Motherhood Myth," to explore the myths surrounding modern motherhood. They discuss the societal pressures that lead mothers to feel trapped or inadequate, focusing on breaking away from ideals of self-sacrifice and perfectionism. Vanessa highlights how patriarchal and capitalist systems influence women's roles and emphasizes the importance of reclaiming one's identity. The episode offers insights into shifting from survival mode to a path of personal and spiritual growth in motherhood. Join the conversation to redefine what it means to be a mother today.

Vanessa delves into the psychological aspects of motherhood and how the generational pendulum swings have influenced current parenting styles, particularly focusing on the intense pressure many women face to be perfect mothers. The episode also touches on the lesser-known trinity wound—the witch, the sister, and the mother wound—and how healing these wounds is crucial for rebuilding community among women. Vanessa emphasizes that motherhood can be a pathway to personal growth rather than a sentence of self-sacrifice.

Many women shut down emotionally because of childhood trauma-and don't realize it until adulthood. In this conversation Andrea Leeb explains why emotional numbness happens and how to reconnect safely.

Host Myrna Young engages with Andrea Leeb to explore the haunting, yet inspiring story captured in Andrea's memoir, "Such a Pretty Picture." Andrea's experiences as she endured unthinkable abuse at the hands of her father, the psychological impact it had on her mother, and her long journey to healing and self-discovery.

The conversation is an eye-opener to the realities of childhood sexual abuse and the various ways survivors cope with their trauma. Andrea sheds light on her personal struggle with shame, societal judgments, and the arduous process of reclaiming her power. Every aspect of her narrative underscores the resilience of the human spirit and the profound transformation that can occur when victims of abuse find their voice, connect with supportive communities, and share their stories.
