Shelly helps women who have already done a lot of healing work unpack the way a complex relationship with their mother still holds them back, so they can blossom in their relationship with themselves, others, their career and life itself. After a childhood marked by neglect and abandonment, she turned her story on its head and built a life rooted in purpose, healing and helping other women do the same. We talk about high achievement, perfectionism, visibility, burnout, boundaries and the exhausting habit of trying to earn love, safety or approval through effort. Shelly is a trauma-informed, certified Hakomi therapist who believes that dreams come true, and she brings such depth and compassion to this conversation. There is so much here for anyone who has ever looked successful on the outside but felt heavy on the inside. Highlights: (03:09) - Why high achievement can become a way of trying to feel safe and accepted (08:41) - What feeling safe enough to be visible actually looks like (15:41) - Why we still chase validation, even when we know better (21:33) - How the mother wound shapes our relationship with clients and business (35:11) - Why healing does not have to mean losing the relationship (45:11) - The somatic moment that changed what a boundary felt like Connect with Shelly: https://www.shellysharon.com https://www.instagram.com/undermothered_women/ To find out more: Website Instagram (FREE) THE CUSHY WORK WEEK PLAYBOOK This podcast is proudly produced by Wavemakers Audio","meta_description":"In this episode, I’m joined by Shelly Sharon for a deeply honest conversation about the mother wound, and the way our earliest relationships can quietly s…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3117,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/make-more-money-without-selling-your-soul-5944930/episodes/healing-the-mother-wound-to-build-a-healthier-business-with-shelly-sharon/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/make-more-money-without-selling-your-soul-5944930/healing-the-mother-wound-to-build-a-healthier-business-with-shelly-sharon.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
