The Mother Wound

In this raw and powerful episode, we talk about the mother wound—how it shapes our sense of self, our bodies, our boundaries, and our nervous systems. We unpack the grief of being unmothered, the guilt of going low-contact, and what it means to re-mother yourself while raising your own children. If you’ve ever felt unseen by the woman who raised you, this one is for you. New episodes drop every Friday at 6PM EST Follow us: @settingthetablepodcast

Loneliness Epidemic

We’re diving deep into a conversation so many of us are aching for: real community. In this episode, we talk about the epidemic of loneliness, the cultural shifts that got us here, and why so many of us are disconnected even in a world that’s always “online.” We unpack the generational breakdown of support, how social media gives us false intimacy, and why so many friendships now feel transactional. We also share personal stories about showing up imperfectly, the fear of not having “enough to offer,” and what it really means to build lasting connection. Whether you’re feeling isolated, misunderstood, or just craving real conversation you have a seat at our table. New episodes drop every Friday at 6PM.
