About This Episode
Toxic relationships can include relationships with toxic mothers. Oftentimes, toxic mothers do not treat their children with respect as individuals. When we grow up with dysfunctional parenting, we may not recognize it as such. It feels familiar and normal. We may be in denial and not realize that we’ve been abused emotionally, particularly if our material needs were met.
In today’s episode, I speak with Aja Marie, a mom of one, entrepreneur, daughter, sister, and friend. Aja is a homeschooling mama who has found a way to use words, in various forms, to express herself and connect with others. She shares her childhood experiences and how she’s making a conscious decision to raise a son that understands the power of boundaries.
In a nutshell, we speak about:
- What trauma really is and how to identify it.
- Raising a productive, valuable child without being a permissive parent.
- Developing your intuition without becoming a toxic mother.
- Why her work specifically focuses on the relationship between a black daughter and a black mother.
- Some of the traumas that Aja has seen beyond some of the obvious things.
- Healing from the trauma caused by our mothers.
- How she’s chosen to be intentional about how she interacts with her son.
- How culture affects the kind of person that someone becomes.
Aja is on a mission to help women recognize and heal from black mama trauma. You don’t want to miss the valuable information she shares in this episode!
