Mother of All Trauma
Episode 1 Part 1: Laura's Story - The Road to Estrangement
Family, trauma, and the quiet unravelling of a mother-daughter bond.
In this opening episode, Laura shares the early chapters of her story—the experiences and emotional landscape that shaped her long, complicated journey toward estrangement from her mom. While this episode doesn’t explore the final breaking point, it lays bare the groundwork: childhood memories, painful relationship patterns, and the deep impact of growing up without the safety and emotional support every child deserves.
Laura reflects on what it was like to navigate love and loyalty in an environment where mental health struggles were never named, expectations were crushing, and emotional needs often went unmet. She talks about how early trauma echoed into adulthood, leading her to an abusive relationship, and how that pain ultimately became a catalyst for healing and self-discovery.
This conversation touches on the heartbreak and complexity of mother-daughter relationships, the weight of family pressure, and the power of choosing yourself—even when it means stepping away from people you love. Through Laura’s honest storytelling, listeners are reminded that they’re not alone—and that healing is possible, even when it starts with walking away.
