#477: The Mother Wound - How to Heal What You Inherited With Bethany Webster

In this episode, Mark sits down with author and thought leader Bethany Webster for a powerful deep dive into the “mother wound” and how it unconsciously shapes our sense of self, relationships, and capacity to thrive. Bethany breaks down the four levels of the mother wound, how family dynamics and cultural conditioning intertwine, and why so many of us carry invisible patterns of self-abandonment, guilt, or people-pleasing. Through her own story and years of teaching, she reveals how confronting and healing these wounds can liberate us from inherited beliefs, create healthier boundaries, and unlock greater authenticity in love, work, and life. This is an eye-opening conversation on breaking cycles, reclaiming sovereignty, and learning to mother ourselves with compassion and truth. Bethany Webster is considered a global expert on healing the Mother Wound. She is a writer, international speaker and transformational coach. Bethany started blogging in 2013 about the Mother Wound and quickly experienced worldwide demand for her work. Through blending research on intergenerational trauma, feminist theory, and psychology with her own personal story, Bethany's work is the result of decades of research and her own journey of healing. Bethany speaks, consults and mentors around the world sharing her growing body of work that is raising the standard of women’s leadership and personal development.
