I Want My Mommy NoDrama Mama

I've had first hand experience working in Family Planning and Abortion. The recent Supreme Court decision to Overturn Roe vs. Wade, will mean that in most states, women will no longer be able to seek safe, legal abortion procedures. This is a devastating blow to women and families, especially those without financial means. I share my concerns about this issue and ask for support and understanding from people on both sides of the political divide.

This episode is a conversation between my daughter and me. We refer to her as Jedi in the content, but, in case anyone is wondering, that is not her real name. It is a frank and poignant discussion about past trauma that we have been working on healing for many years. There are references to a church we belonged to at one time. Though much of the difficulty was connected to leaving that organization, I do not hold any animosity about it, nor do I want to disparage it in any way. Many people I know are devoted members, and their lives are enriched by their association with it. My philosophy is live and let live. If something works for you, more power to you. I hope that the content of this conversation can be useful to listeners who resonate with the experience. 

Mother's Day can be a difficult holiday for some people. This is a short and simple podcast designed to deliver a message of hope and healing to those who struggle during Mother's Day due to unresolved issues around mother-child relationships. The spiritual content may not resonate with everyone, and it contains an excerpt from an author (credit given in the podcast), who is known for his uplifting broad spiritual perspective. I hope it will be a helpful episode for my listeners. My best wishes for a Happy Mother's Day, or at least one free of pain, go out to all who tune in.

The lack of unconditional maternal love does not have to lead to a broken spirit. Wholeness comes from within. This episode explores some simple changes in perspective to help overcome the pain of motherlessness.

What's more fundamental than the love between mother and child? Unfortunately not everyone has that. This is the introductory episode of the podcast designed for the motherless, where we'll embark on an exploratory and healing journey, as members of this, often overlooked, community.
