You First- A Journey to Self
Grieving a Parent You Had No Relationship With | Healing the Mother Wound

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by grief, guilt, or emotions you can’t explain… this episode is for you.
In this video, I share one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to process. Finding out my mom passed away months after it happened completely shook me. Not just because of the loss, but because of everything that came with it… the unresolved relationship, the guilt, the shame, the anger, and the deep feeling of being broken.
But what I’ve realized through this experience is something I need every woman to hear:
You are not broken.
Grief is not just sadness. It’s layered, it’s confusing, and sometimes it brings up parts of you that you thought you already healed. In this episode, I open up about navigating the mother wound, processing overwhelming emotions, and learning how to sit with what you feel without letting it define you.
We also talk about:
• Grieving a parent you weren’t close to
• Why shame and guilt keep you stuck
• Emotional overwhelm and nervous system regulation
• The truth about healing and duality
• How sadness and joy can exist at the same time
If you’re going through loss, emotional overwhelm, or deep inner healing… I see you.
You’re not broken. You’re human.
If this resonates, share this with someone who needs to hear it 🤍
