She has been traveling for 15 years and has lived in over 12 different countries and has been building her company as she travels.
Vangile and I go deep into the mother wound. I am relatively new to the mother wound concept, but once I began reading about it, I couldn’t stop. It’s such a powerful theory that addresses the pain and suffering that patriarchy has caused in most women when it pertains to motherhood.
Women have been conditioned to think of themselves as “less-than” and not deserving or worthy. This feeling of “less-than” has been internalized and passed down through countless generations of women. Women are often taught to prioritize relationships above all else.
We are taught that accessing our power will prevent us from forming meaningful connections with others, and this belief can manifest into a psychic limitation on who we want to be, disconnecting us from our true self. Becoming disconnected from the core of who we are can create distrust of our own needs, feelings, desires, gut instincts, and perception of reality. The distortion often manifests itself into behaviors such as codependency and people-pleasing.
Vangile and I go deep into all of this, and so much more! In our conversation, we speak specifically on the experience of Black women, but these themes impact us all no matter what your gender expression.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! So sit back, get cozy, and prepare yourself for an expansive conversation.
