Explore the mindset 'Readiness to Get Disappointed' and learn how this comes from the mother wound and affects your life. Discover ways to transform it to readiness to feel supported and met

Women who learned early on to protect their mother at the cost of their own feelings often feel compassion which is in fact empathy mixed with fear. This prevents them from making space for their feelings and big emotions and ask for their needs. It's how the mother wound sets compassion as a trap. Even if you're a therapist, as Polly in this post, you'd be surprised how it can feel like compassion is competing with your right to feel anger.

Sometimes the harshest words you tell yourself were never yours to begin with. I’ve seen how inherited stories slip into your inner voice and shape your choices without you even noticing. This post explores how those borrowed narratives form through the mother wound—and how healing helps you finally hear your own voice again.

There’s a point where “staying humble” stops being wisdom and starts being a survival strategy you never chose. I’ve watched brilliant women shrink themselves because the mother wound taught them that taking up space is dangerous. This post digs into how spiritual bypassing fuels that pattern, why even the strongest women get pulled into it, and what changes when you finally stop making yourself small.

Did you grow up believing it’s their job to keep their mother stable, calm, or emotionally intact? I’ve seen how this instinct becomes a lifelong survival response—one that feels like love, but functions like self-abandonment. This post unpacks why you were never meant to save your mum, how fused relationships form, and what shifts when you finally put that burden down.
