“How do you feel when you think about your self concept and your self reflection? How much of yourself do you see in your mother?,”asks Dr. Richarne Fuqua aka Dr. Shawn, the LPC. Today, Dr. Shawn joins host D-Rich alongside Tiara Nicole Riley, life coach, motivational speaker, and author to talk about the “Mother Wound” and understanding mother-daughter conflict and healing.

The goal of this show is to help guide women who are stuck in painful cycles - feeling unworthy because of insecure thoughts about themselves, which stem from the Mother Wound. For some, there is a deep yearning for love, acceptance, and nurturing that can never be fully satisfied. This pain builds up over time as our needs remain unmet, and we unconsciously form a belief system that says, “I am not enough,” “I don’t deserve true love,” or “It’s not safe to trust and love again.”

Black women have always been laborers in America and they are always giving more than they take. Much of what we struggle with today is actually rooted in intergenerational trauma. This Mother Wound often stays unhealed and can cause a lot of conflict between mothers and daughters.

Quotes

• “I didn't know her daughter, but I was able to say, ‘When your daughter is going through this, maybe this is what she needs. Maybe you can try this’. This is what I wish my mother knew, and I couldn't tell her in the moment. These are questions that you can ask to figure out what she specifically might need.” (6:02-6:17 | Tiara)

• “If you empower the woman, especially if you empower the Black woman, that's where the real change begins.” (12:07-12:13 | Tiara)

• “How do you feel when you think about your self concept and your self reflection? How much of yourself do you see in your mother?” (35:07-35:13 | Dr. Shawn)

• “Honor and obey are not the same thing. As an adult who pays her own bills among somebody I no longer feel the need as an adult to obey my mother. Honoring my mother means I show love. I show care." (55:55-56:20 | Tiara)
