Let’s talk about the wound no one wants to name

Hey Reader

There’s a wound we don’t talk about. It hides in plain sight, passed from mother to daughter like an invisible heirloom.

It’s the Mother Wound. Not just from your own mother, but from centuries of living under a story that says God is only Father - distant, judging, and ready to punish.

That story bled into how women were taught to mother: Be perfect. Don’t speak up. Don’t need too much. Give until you’re empty. And if you fall short? Wear the guilt. Carry the shame. Keep quiet.

But here’s the truth no one told you: You were never meant to mother under the weight of guilt, fear, or “not-enoughness.”

Mother God’s truth is different. She mothers without judgment. She nurtures without condition. She creates without limits. And she’s calling you to heal - not by fixing the past, but by reclaiming the present.

Here’s your challenge: ​
​
Choose one wound you’ve carried - a moment of diminishment, disrespect, or shame and reframe it through Mother God’s eyes.
Ask yourself: What would She say to me about this? What truth would She give me instead?​
Write it down. Let that truth replace the lie.

You are not the wound. You are the healer. And today, you start mothering yourself in the way you always needed.
