In the journey of life, have you ever felt like you were carrying the weight of previous generations on your shoulders? Have you ever longed to break free from the chains that have bound you to repeat the cycles of the past ? The Mother Wound runs deep, and its roots are intertwined with patriarchal beliefs that have cast women as second-class citizens, perpetuating the idea that they will never "be enough." You don't need to have a difficult relationship with your mother (although it certainly may have manifested this way for you) to experience the mother wound, as it resides at the core of societal expectations and conditioning . It includes shame and a belief that there is something wrong or lacking within you , guilt for wanting more than you've got —or have been given—and the need to remain small , invisible, or unnoticed in order to be loveable . If you've ever struggled with the concept of feeling "broken" or felt trapped by the echoes of your family's history , then our powerful new book , Broken , the second installment in the Wounded Women Series , is the book you've been waiting for. In the first book, Betrayed , we confronted the shadows of external betrayals and internalized self-betrayal . Now, in Broken , we delve even deeper into the heart of these ancestral chains and generational cycles . As you journey through the inspiring stories shared by brave women who have stepped up as contributing authors, you'll discover the keys to understanding, healing, and ultimately breaking free from the chains that have bound generations. Join us on a journey of self-discovery and transformation . Embrace the wisdom of those who have turned darkness into light , shattered the cycles of addiction and abuse, and emerged as true cycle breakers . You'll encounter stories that mirror the struggles and triumphs associated with the Mother Wound—stories that may resonate with the pain and aspirations you've encountered in your own life . Through our collective vulnerability, we aim to inspire, support, and empower you to step into your full potential , rewrite the narrative of your life, and transform the legacy we leave for future generations. Become part of a community of women that celebrates personal growth, self-love, forgiveness, and the establishment of healthy, empowering relationships. It's your opportunity to break free from the past , release the shame , guilt, and limitations, and embrace a brighter future filled with healing, abundance, and purpose. Broken features stories from authors Jenny Alberti, Tracey Brown, Ruth Fae, Teri Katzenberger, Laurie Bedard, Kelli Femrite, Christine Frey, Tara Haislip, Jodi Jackson, Stephanie Moyer, Sophie Neve, Amanda Norr, and Helen Staines.
