The guest on this episode of The Podcast with Nongcebo Vukile McKenzie is Moshitadi Lehlomela. She is the author of The Girl Who Survived Her Mother: Navigating and Healing the Mother Wound.

"There is a lot of talk in society about bad fathers. Fathers being neglectful or abusive or abandoning their families. Much less is spoken about mothers. There is a shroud of secrecy around mothers' parental failures and targeted abuse of their children. It is taboo to question a mother's love. Nonetheless, the mother wound has become a buzz phrase amongst millennials grappling with what to say on Mothers' Day on social media or how not to feel jealous of the nurture others enjoy from their mothers.

Moshitadi is a mother wound recovery coach. In The Girl Who Survived Her Mother, she details the years of her torturous relationship with her mother, maps the intergenerational nature of the trauma in her family, and reveals how she was finally able to begin her journey of healing. Today she helps clients around the world face their most shameful question -- how do I love myself when the person who carried me and gave birth to me cannot?" Source: NB Publishers
