Experience coaching with me. ​The Mother Lode is a safe, personalized, nurturing coaching container to get support in taking better care of yourself in the relationship you have with your mother. To reconnect you to the parts of yourself that you may disconnected from. To love and trust yourself more. Along the way you will cultivate an inner command over how you feel and react, no matter what she’s doing or saying. You will maintain the boundaries you set, and not override them. You will feel safer when expressing anger. You will be able to separate yourself emotionally from her so you know where she ends and you begin. You will find yourself able to be with and process feelings like guilt, regret, shame, and fear. Your mother will no longer be the subject the sucks the life out of you. You will know what to do in the moment "when your mom is going loco on you." You will become the leader in the relationship. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kclanderson/message

Read the the post I refer to here: Advanced Boundary Setting  Karen C.L. Anderson is a master-certified life coach and author who's work is for those who wish to take care of themselves in the relationship they have with their mothers. Her coaching practice is trauma-informed and based on intersectional feminist principles. She recognizes that what's possible personally is what's possible collectively and that the Mother Wound is not actually about mothers but about systems and structures that oppress all women. She understands that adage "hurt people hurt people" but prefers to say "people who are unaware of their hurt sometimes hurt other people" while acknowledging that cultivating compassion and empathy doesn't mean you have to hang out with hurt people and that healthy boundaries (up to an including going "no contact" even if just temporarily) are at the heart of healthy relationships.

Clarification: it wasn't the previous episode in which I mentioned the three truths, it was this episode: Being Sensitive Isn't A Problem Karen C.L. Anderson is a master-certified life coach and author for women who have difficult relationships with their mothers (or adult daughters). She helps them improve their relationship by getting clear on what they value, setting and maintaining boundaries that actually work, and re-mothering themselves.. Author of Difficult Mothers, Adult Daughters: A Guide For Separation, Liberation & Inspiration (March 2018); The Difficult Mother-Daughter Relationship Journal (January 2020); and Overcoming Creative Anxiety: Journal Prompts & Practices For Disarming Your Inner Critic (June 2020), Karen incorporates story-telling, journaling, awareness tools, shadow work, and simple energy and somatic practices in her Mother Lode 1:1 mentorship program. Her approach is safe, fun, and effective. Karen recognizes that what’s possible personally is what’s possible collectively, and that “the Mother Wound” is not actually about mothers, but about systems that oppress all women.
