The relationship we share with our parents is complex, especially the one between mothers and daughters. Today's guest, Shelly Sharon, is here to share her experience and work with you on the concept of 'the mother wound'.
In this episode, we cover:
- Shelly's creative background and traumatic childhood
- What the mother wound is
- The 5 thresholds for under-mothered daughters, and more.
Shelly Sharon helps women heal the wounds of a complex mother–daughter relationship so they can thrive in their lives and careers.
After a childhood marked by neglect, and abandonment, she turned her story on its head and built a life of purpose and healing.
Shelly’s been a professional ballet dancer, a coffeeshop owner, and a sought-after social change strategist and researcher. But it was through years of intense meditation practice and Buddhist psychology studies with leading international teachers that she came to own her mother wound — and discovered her calling to serve others on the same path.
Shelly is a certified Hakomi therapist and trauma-trained by Janina Fischer. She is the co-host of the Healing the Mother Wound Summit and is currently working on her first book on the subject.
When she’s not supporting clients, she can be found swimming in Alpine lakes, riding horses, picking wildflowers, or cooking enough food to feed a tribe. She lives with her soulmate and their beloved cat.
