The Grown & Liberated Love Club™

The first relationship you ever had was with your mother. And whether you realize it or not,

that relationship is the blueprint your nervous system is still using to decide whether love is

safe. In this episode, Candice breaks down the signs of an unhealed mommy wound, the 10

signs you're healing from it, what the research says about how maternal attachment shapes

adult romantic relationships, and how to use your single season as preparation for all of your desires. Plus, a deep dive into Jill Scott's "Prepared" and why the work we do is never for

him, it’s always for us.

Key Takeaways:

• The mommy wound shows up as hyper-control, performative nurturing, emotional guardedness, and dysfunctional dude-chasing
• Research (Dugan & Fraley, 2024) shows maternal relationships predict adult attachment styles across ALL relationships
• 10 signs you're healing: from releasing control to trusting love you didn’t have to earn. 
• Your single season is not a waiting room
• The growth we do is not FOR a man, it’s for you to experience your full humanity with self-expression and joy
• Relationship quality and adult attachment styles. Reported in Scientific American.
• "Influence of Family of Origin and Adult Romantic Partners on Romantic AttachmentSecurity." Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
