Some wounds are passed down like heirlooms. In this raw second chapter, I unravel the complex legacy of generational trauma through my mother’s desperate search for validation in men’s attention – and how watching her dance shaped my own beliefs about self-worth.

What you’ll hear:

The inheritance of unworthiness
When mother’s love comes with conditions
Learning to disappear
The price of external validation
Breaking generational patterns
First steps to healing the mother wound

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt invisible in their own home, who learned too young that love was something you had to perform for. You’re not alone in this healing.
