Our mother, though, is our first love, regardless of whether that's a positive feeling or not, and from our mother's touch, smell, sound, presence or absence we learn how love feels, and that's why I'm talking about mother hunger.
Have you ever felt an endless ache to love and be loved, or found yourself trapped in cycles of harmful behaviors? In this thought-provoking episode of the SHE RECOVERS Podcast, Dawn Nickel and Taryn Strong sit down with Kelly McDaniel, a licensed professional counselor and author, to discuss the profound concept of 'Mother Hunger'.
