  • Love!!! Small audio issue

    I love this podcast so bad! As of recently though, the audio seems off. When I play it in my car or headphones, it only plays on one speaker. As a person on the spectrum, I can’t tolerate the sound imbalance, so I haven’t been able to listen as often. Have you need recording differently? Otherwise, never change, you are a true gem.

  • I really wanted to like this podcast but the profanity and lip smacking coming from a middle aged woman is unbearable. The final straw was when a statement was made in one of the podcasts "You motherfers don't listen." I didn't expect to listen to this podcast to be verbally abused and hear such foul language coupled with the ghetto lip smacking. A few of the podcasts I listened to also seemed a bit aggressive and angry for me. I prefer a gentler approach to healing, but am happy for those t... more

  • I’m riding with you and our healing

    I am so happy I was able to hear the ad for this podcast on the radio which I never listen to in my car. It was destined and I enjoy every episode knowing I was never alone although I’ve felt like this all my life. Thank you home girl and thank you for sharing your story.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

You Can't Heal Your Mother Wound Without Making Hard Choices
Q: How do I protect my peace and continue healing while living with my emotionally manipulative mother without feeling like I'm sacrificing my dreams?
She says there may be no way to pursue independence and stay in the same environment without trade-offs. She encourages building a practical plan to leave, prioritizing autonomy, and considering options such as additional work while acknowledging the financial and emotional difficulty.
You Can't Heal Your Mother Wound Without Making Hard Choices
Q: How do I stop feeling the need to defend myself against my mother's lies while protecting my children and helping them process what is happening?
She advises reducing exposure to the mother's social media and reports from others, setting clear limits with people who pass along information, and protecting children from harmful interactions instead of asking them to tolerate or process mistreatment.
The Grief of What Was Lost and the Promise of What’s to Come
Q: Do you ever regret the time you lost because of your mother wound and the healing journey?
Yes, there is regret and sadness, but the path is not to stay in a victim mindset; instead, use the grief to fuel growth, give attention to what can still be created, and pursue new possibilities.
Choosing Your Inner Little Girl
Q: Here's the question: How does ignoring healing your mother wound impact your inner little girl, and how can I become more consistent in healing my inner little girl?
The host explains that the mother wound is about an unhealthy relationship with oneself and one's inner child, and emphasizes that consistent reparenting is a lifelong commitment, requiring accountability, presence, and a boundary-first approach that centers the inner little girl's needs rather than external approval.
How to Recognize and Receive Love After a Lifetime of Not Having It
Q: How can I learn to recognize and receive love at 64 after a lifetime of conditional love and heartbreak from my mother?
Start with self-love and self-care routines to soothe the inner child, pursue new experiences, and gradually build trust in your own capacity to be loved, rather than relying on others to fill that gap.
