I am Nikki, a mom of two. I believe that our childhood experiences shape us as adults and can help empower our knowledge and actions as parents.
Are there things you wish someone had told you the truth about? Things you had to learn on your own but the experience would have been much easier if someone had warned you about it or told you the honest truth about it.
I wish I knew more about things. I wish I knew more about marriage before I got married, or I wish I knew more about parenting before I became a parent.
In each episode, we’ll have conversations with other women, and sometimes men, about childhood lessons learned and lessons lost and how they impact us. Hear from real women as they discuss relationships with their mothers, their relationships with their children, what they learned from their mothers, what they teach their children. We dive into other relationships, like marriage, relationships with other women, struggles with anxiety, fear of failure, and successes.
What I Wish is an excellent opportunity to learn from other women and hear how all mothers have shared experiences. Are you ready to find deep meaning in parenting?
We’ll share real-life tips and approaches to navigating life, using what we wish we knew to help us be better parents and better to ourselves. My goal is to help mothers and daughters have a good relationship from a young age into adulthood.

Taking Ownership Of My Trauma and Healing Childhood Abandonment. What I Wish My Mother Taught Me about Resolving Abandonment
Healing and moving forward from childhood trauma can feel like an uphill battle. My purpose for hosting the What I Wish My Mother Taught Me Podcast is to build a community of men and women willing to speak transparently about their life experiences and how those experiences shape them as adults and parents. My guest this week, Karen, spoke transparently about childhood abandonment, the effects of divorce on children, and the importance of seeking help in the form of therapy to heal childhood trauma and abandonment in the case of Karen. This episode is an excellent reminder that you are not alone, and there are so many people who are on that healing journey as well.
The path to healing starts now.
IN THIS EPISODE:
Anger associated with abandonment
Adolescent anger carries into college because we do not have the tools to deal with the trauma.
How parents can communicate better with their kids to support changes in life
Having Open communication between parent and child can help when a child feels abandoned.
The loneliness that comes with divorce.
Losing siblings, going from a home filled with siblings to feeling lonely because you’ve been removed from your siblings.
The importance of providing our kids with tools to manage their stresses, anxiety, emotions
I wish my parents had been more patient with me
I wish my parents had praised me more
I wish my parents were my coaches and helped me and encouraged me, and supported me more.
I wish I had tools to help me know that I am doing life right.
I wish someone had told me how money works.
