Resumen del Editor

Sure to become a classic on female empowerment, a groundbreaking exploration of the personal, cultural, and global implications of intergenerational trauma created by patriarchy, how it is passed down from mothers to daughters, and how we can break this destructive cycle.

Why do women keep themselves small and quiet? Why do they hold back professionally and personally? What fuels the uncertainty and lack of confidence so many women often feel? In this paradigm-shifting book, leading feminist thinker Bethany Webster identifies the source of women’s trauma. She calls it the Mother Wound - the systemic disenfranchisement of women by the patriarchy - and reveals how this cycle is perpetuated by wounded mothers who unconsciously pass on damaging beliefs and behaviors to their daughters.

In her workshops, online courses, and talks, Webster has helped countless women re-examine their lives and their relationships with their mothers, giving them the vocabulary to voice their pain, and encouraging them to share their experiences. In this manifesto and self-help guide, she offers practical tools for identifying the manifestations of the Mother Wound in our daily life and strategies we can use to heal ourselves and prevent our daughters from enduring the same pain. In addition, she offers step-by-step advice on how to reconnect with our inner child, grieve the mother we didn’t have, stop people-pleasing, and, ultimately, transform our heartache and anger into healing and self-love.

Revealing how women are affected by the Mother Wound, even if they don't personally identify as survivors, Discovering the Inner Mother revolutionizes how we view mother-daughter relationships and gives us the inspiration and guidance we need to improve our lives and ultimately create a more equitable society for all.

Amazing

Listened to it over two days first and I’m on my second time. It’s life changing if you’re on this path.

Amazing

I will be reading this again soon, going to order it in paper form. I am deeply gratefull that found this book

Thank you

I have never related to something more in my life. Thank you so much. So amazing and so just life changing.

A must read!

Bethany does not shy away from the challenges of growing up in a world full of pain. She boldly addresses, the common thread of patriarchy, childhood trauma, and navigating the complexities of a mother and daughter relationship. This book was life-changing for me.

Thank You

I am so grateful for finding Bethany on youtube. Im at the beginning of this book and I know I will be transformed

Empowering

This book spoke to me in ways that I have needed my whole life. It validated and helped me identify the target areas that I am seeking to heal. It allows me to understand that I have freedom of choice and the a relationship bond isn’t synonymous with being bound to a relationship. I am truly grateful for this book and have already recommended it to a couple of my friends and even played a chapter for my mother. Ultimately, my hope and personal mission is to show up as my most authentic self. To rectify my relationships with my sons. To apologize from an informed and reframed perspective. To build up the confidence to carry out the things that I have always been passionate about. To help others feel loved and supported as well.

Thank you for your message in this book.

Great

This book is a game changer. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on boundaries. Thank you Bethany for taking the time to write it. And I loved the discussion from Bethany’s therapist in the appendix to provide context to the therapy within which all of Bethany’s spirallic transformations took place.

Excellent guidance

Listening to this, i no linger feel so aline in my pursuit to "not be like my mother". Now i understand the reason for the confusing relationship I have with her. More explanation of how to reprogram my own behavior would be good. The death mother apocalyptic mother explanation made sense to me, but seemed a little out of place with the rest of the book style.

Best book on this topic

Unfortunately I’ve read a lot of books on this topic, but this one was the best. It was so relatable and the advice on how to break free is so good.

Just what my soul needed to heal.

Thank you for sharing your light; it’s been such an uplifting and healing book. Gave me answers around family dynamics and how patriarchal systems were infused to create the toxic environment we get to inhabit. At all times we must choose the truth of our souls and act accordingly. It sure does take courage & fierce integrity- I thank you 🙏🏽
