Why You’re So Hard on Yourself as a Mom (and Whose Voice That Really Is) with Sabrina Bendory
If you’ve ever struggled with mom guilt and wondered why you’re so hard on yourself as a mom, this episode is for you.
New here? Start with our Start Here playlist — five episodes that will change how you think about motherhood.
That harsh voice in your head may not be yours. Bestselling author and relationship coach Sabrina Bendory joins JoAnn to explain the mother wound, the role you learned to play as a child, and how both show up in your relationships and your parenting. You’ll also hear what to say to your child after you’ve yelled, and why your child’s neediness can stir up feelings that have nothing to do with them.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What the mother wound is, in plain terms, and why it shapes how you treat yourself
- Why two things can be true: your mother did her best and your needs still weren’t met
- How the “role self” you built as a child to feel safe still runs your adult relationships
- Why your child’s needs can trigger anger, and the grief that may be underneath it
- A simple repair after you yell: “That was not your fault”
