Episode Shame on You: Rewriting the Narrative with Melissa Petro
This month, we’re diving deep into shame, mother wounds, and the stories women are finally telling out loud.
We sit down with author Melissa Petro to talk about her powerful debut, Shame on You. With fearless honesty, Petro unpacks the social systems that teach women we’re never enough. Blending investigative reporting, science, literature, and raw personal stories—including her own—she challenges the narrative of inadequacy and offers a bold, liberating way forward.
We also explore Mother Hunger by Kelly McDaniel, a groundbreaking look at how unmet childhood needs shape our adult relationships. McDaniel names and destigmatizes the pain of being “under-mothered,” connecting the dots between early trauma and destructive patterns—and, more importantly, offering practical tools for healing, self-understanding, and healthier love.
