Hey, my name is Randie Chapman and I have a Mother Wound.

As a podcaster and podcast manager, I will confess that the Mother Wound has largely affected how I present and create in the world. I have (and still experience) lots of fear around what I say and how I say it.

I still worry that I’ll get in trouble, that I’ll be perceived as bad and as a bad daughter, I still find myself wanting to (over)explain myself, I still get butterflies whenever I am about to take a risk, I still must work to regulate my nervous system, and I still have lots of wounds and triggers that are activated by my Mother Wound. . .

But/And now I know I have the capacity to endure and heal from that discomfort and the Mother Wound and still thrive, and it is creating that has largely helped me do this. It is creating by way of podcasting, to be exact, that helps me heal. . .
