Mother loss comes in many forms: cancer, suicide, illness, murder, accidents. And while many women still have their mothers, they have lost them to abandonment, addiction, memory malfunction, mental illness and more. 
Kelly McDaniel is an author and clinician supporting women on the journey toward relational wholeness. 
In her first book, Ready to Heal, she addresses cultural double standards and family wounds that set women up for addictive relationship habits.
Her second book, Mother Hunger, is the culmination of 30 years of research, clinical expertise, and a deep understanding of mothering myths. Mother Hunger provides women a name for the misunderstood root of poor eating patterns, chronic relationship disappointment, and distorted self image.
In Mother Hunger what Kelly does is validate the experience of mother loss by giving a poignant name to a phenomenon that many will know very well and offer an elegant and useful framework for healing. 
In short, this is a conversation about childhood attachment injuries and their lasting impact. Kelly destigmatized the shame that comes with being under-mothered and offers a healing path with powerful tools that include lifestyle changes and therapeutic interventions.

Judith Ruskay Rabinor, PhD, is a clinician, author, writing coach, speaker, and workshop leader retunrs to the podcast for the 4th time. 
During her first interview we talked about her memoir The Girl in The Boots: Making Peace with My Mother. She specializes in eating disorders and the mother daughter relationship. 
Today’s conversation is a wide ranging one. We focused on the transformative power of deep listening, as well as went into other interesting areas such as: 
The importance of taking personal responsibility in relationships, particularly in the parent child relationship How we all have a need to be listened to, and healing happens once someone truly witnesses our experiences and chooses to listen to us deeply. How we unconsciously repeat harmful patterns and what it takes to break those cycles  Why therapists care so much about the past How we build resilience  And so much more Judy says that deep listening is an act of generosity.

None of us came out of childhood unscathed. 
Let’s face it, even the lucky ones among us didn’t get an ideal childhood. 
Are you still looking for approval from your parents? Do you long for them to see and accept you for who you are? How do you see your parents today? Are you holding onto a fantasy? 
Is there anything you need from them in order to live your life fully and authentically?
Deep, raw and very personal conversation with  kundalini yoga and meditation teacher Nina Mongondre. She is the author of the Inner Child & Beyond Oracle deck and is writing a book about inner child and ancestral healing. In her private practice, she offers shamanic healing, neuroEmotional coaching and inherited trauma work.
The central theme is the parent-adult child relationship and some key points we touched upon are:
How becoming a parent gives us new understanding and appreciation for our parents
How in order to accept, we need to grieve first
What healing in a relationship means to us
The acute and sudden awareness of an immense vulnerability after you lose your parents that those who still have their parents alive won’t understand 
How our parents live in us even if we cut ties with them
And so much more.
