    S2:EP3 Mother Wounds, Silent Grief & Becoming the Woman You Needed

    In this Women’s History Month episode of The Quiet As Kept Podcast, Shawnti Refuge explores one of the quietest and most complicated forms of grief women carry — the mother wound.

In this raw conversation, Shawnti discusses emotional neglect, generational trauma, silent grief, and the journey of becoming the nurturing presence you needed growing up. She also shares powerful reflections on reparenting yourself, setting boundaries, and breaking cycles. If you’ve ever struggled with complicated feelings about your mother, this episode will help you put language to emotions many people are afraid to acknowledge.
