Through Soul Seeds, her publication on Substack, she cultivates a community for self-discovery, sharing writings that inspire presence, courage and authentic connection.

About the Midlife and Beyond Podcast. Like all transitions, midlife can be messy & sad & glorious all at once, leaving many midlife women feeling rather alone & somewhat invisible. But what does this transition we are experiencing lead to? I'm Jo Blackwell, a photographer, author and coach for women who want more from their lives post 50 and I'm here to remind you that if we manage our health and embrace it, growing older can lead to one of the greatest periods of growth and transformation of our lives. The Midlife Movement was created to change minds about midlife and growing older, one story at a time. Because we only become invisible when when we stop seeing ourselves.

How is your relationship with your mother?
This week, I’m talking to psychologist, Vanessa Wallace about her program, “Healing the Mother line.”

Vanessa explains how growing up in a dysfunctional relationship with our mothers can cause us to adopt behaviours such as people pleasing and “good girl” syndrome, or carry deep seated anger and resentment which we then pass on to the next generation.

We talk about inherited beliefs and self acceptance as a better goal than self esteem. And how by letting go of resentment and anger we can break the chain.
