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.

In this solo episode, I would like to introduce the theme for January on The Transform Your Mind Podcast. I know we are almost at the end of the month, but I wanted to explain why I grouped these women together. Each of these interviews highlights the effects of childhood trauma in our adult lives. And what’s been so powerful about these conversations is how trauma shows up—not only in pain—but in pleasure, intimacy, and identity.

Pamela Madsen: Pamela Madsen is a noted sex therapist specializing in somatic healing. She is renowned for creating safe spaces for women to explore their pleasure and reclaim their sexual identities through transformative retreats and therapeutic work.

Andrea Lee: Andrea Lee is a courageous survivor of childhood trauma. Her journey through years of therapy and healing has empowered her to help others through volunteering at a rape crisis center, providing support and guidance to women facing similar experiences of abuse.

Vanessa Bennett: Vanessa Bennett challenges traditional beliefs about motherhood. Her work focuses on dismantling the "motherhood myth," urging mothers to balance identity and personal joy without succumbing to generational sacrifices of self-worth.

So, when we look at these three conversations together, a pattern emerges:

• How we learned to experience pleasure
• How we learned to disconnect from our bodies
• How we learned to abandon ourselves for others
