Motherhood UnmaskedEP68 Take NoteSometimes it’s all you can do to make it to and through your therapy session. Having the presence of mind to take notes sounds like a luxury. But as you heal, the time will come when you have the bandwidth to invest more of yourself in your recovery. And this episode is full of practical tips on how to do it. 2022-11-0114 min

Motherhood UnmaskedEP67 Prioritize SupportThere's no shortage of people ready to comment on your parenting skills. But they don't know what you step over in your soul to show up as a mom. They don't know the skeletons in your childhood trauma closet that you're battling in therapy. And they don't have to—as long as you have a squad who does. Are you a mom in need of safe people? Vanessa's talking about building a supportive circle in this episode of Motherhood Unmasked.2022-10-2517 min

Motherhood UnmaskedEP66 Protect Your Peace We say stuff like, “They drive me crazy!” But the truth is the only reason they can, is because we allow it. But if you have healing to do because you have generational patterns to break and children to leave a better legacy, then protecting your peace is paramount to the process. And in this episode, Vanessa hosts a tough conversation on what boundaries may be necessary for your current circle. 2022-10-1812 min

Motherhood UnmaskedEP65 Time for a Little R & RIn the last episode, we talked about the reality that healing gets a little ugly before it gets better.

Motherhood UnmaskedEP60 Forgive, Don't ForgetForgive has seven letters, but depending on your level of pain, it sounds like a four letter word! Forgiving the person or people who abandoned, abused, or violated when you were most vulnerable sounds like asking the impossible. And I get it. I lived it. You feel like forgiveness validates what they did. But in this episode, I present a different angle on forgiveness. One that moves you from victim to victor. Are you in? Let’s talk about it.2022-04-0509 min

Motherhood UnmaskedEP59 Take the Limits Off!Women talk about glass ceilings in the corporate space, but for those who experienced childhood trauma, there’s another kind. The ceiling that says what your mother was like is all you’ll ever be as a mom. If your mom was awesome, you may be happy to be half the mother she was. But if your experience with your mom growing up was far from pleasant, are you satisfied with hitting your head against the ceiling of her limits? Or are you up for breaking through? Let’s talk about it.2022-03-2909 min

We're talking journaling from A to Z. 2022-03-2210 min

Motherhood UnmaskedEP57 Just Get Over ItTrauma is traumatic. “Someone having it worse than you” doesn’t make your trauma less significant. And the fact that it happened as a child doesn’t mean it shouldn’t affect you now. So how do you respond to the pressure to “get over it?” Listen in.2022-03-1508 min

Motherhood UnmaskedEP56 ChosenWhen they say you can’t pick your family, it’s often about that embarrassing aunt or uncle or the cousin who asks to borrow money. But the truth is you can’t pick your children either and that’s the tricky part of parenting. It’s a stretch to find the beauty in the uniqueness of each child, especially if you were tolerated more than celebrated growing up. In today's episode, we slay the cycle of rejection to embrace the truth that you were chosen just as you are. And yes, your kids too.2022-03-0808 min

Motherhood UnmaskedEP55 It's Okay to Need HelpWhen you’re assaulted as a child and no one notices, much comes to your rescue, you learn to fend for yourself. Later in life, you may even doubt the sincerity of those who offer to help because well—once burned twice shy. But if you’ve noticed, life is getting stranger and harder. And the reality that no one should do life alone is clearer than ever. And while it seems like the scariest time to let your guard down, it’s the only way to get the help you need to manage fe...2022-03-0107 min

Cheers to getting free from all of it! Listen in🎙2022-02-2207 min

Motherhood UnmaskedEP53 Let Your Guard DownDid you ever pinky swear when you were a little girl? That promise was binding like a mortgage. The only way out was death! You pinky swore to hold someone accountable because you don’t have to be alive long to figure out people make promises they don’t keep—even to protect children. So when you were mishandled and left to fend for yourself, you pinky swore you wouldn’t let that happen again. But that’s a promise to the little girl in you you’ll have to break—so you can live and love those God give...2022-02-1510 min

Motherhood UnmaskedEP52 Hard to PleaseAs I often say, “Misplaced expectation is the mother of all disappointment.” And when you’re the mother with the misguided expectation, your children pay the price. As a survivor of childhood trauma you likely paid it too. I know what it’s like to be conditioned to believe I had to meet “the standard” in order to feel love and accepted. I've also seen the look in my kids’ eyes when I’ve given them the same impression. It’s gut wrenching and it doesn’t have to be your normal. In this episode we’ll talk about how to handle motherhood whe...2022-02-0809 min

Motherhood UnmaskedEP51 Shame Off You!Shame will tell you your existence is wrong because of however you believe you caused the abuse, the abandonment or the neglect. And it will tell you you’re a horrible mother because you don’t show compassion and empathy as easily with your children as you do friends or strangers because you didn’t receive it in your home, growing up. But you can tell shame to shut up. Let’s get into how in Episode 51 Shame Off You! See motherhoodunmasked.com for show notes and this episode's Food for Thought. 2022-02-0108 min
