Vampires--a love letter to my mother
Free mini-course
Let the Cards Carry You Home
If you grew up with a mother who was more critical than comforting, more controlling than connected, you’re not alone. And you’re not imagining how ingrained that trauma is. It shows up in the way we overthink and overgive. It's the ghost haunting our confidence, our relationships, and our sense of safety. But what if there was a tool to help you tap into the very thing you needed from her within yourself?Â

I created Motherlode because I’ve lived it.
I grew up with a mother who had Borderline Personality Disorder. And for years I learned to perform instead of feel, disappear instead of take up space, and question my every instinct — especially when it told me the truth — something is not right. Like so many daughters of tough mothers, I fragmented. Dissociated. Forgot how to trust my own voice. Cultivated shame instead of self-esteem.But healing found me anyway. Not in one shining moment, but piece by piece — through seeking, soul work and a deep inner voice that kept whispering, “there’s more.” Motherlode is the space I wish I had back then: A safe, sweet, scrappy sanctuary for daughters like us. Where we can laugh, cry, unravel, and reclaim together. Because yes, the mother wound is deep, but it's not a mortal one...and it’s not your whole story.
