It's a thrill to be here.
The work you're doing is phenomenal, and I'm just thrilled that you're interested in talking to me about mother hunger.
Mother hunger is a term for a yearning for a certain quality of love that a lot of times we confuse with romantic love.
We may look for this kind of love from partners, from our friends, and be frustrated that it's not ever really happening.
So that's one piece of defining it.
The other piece is related more to what we lost.
So mother hunger means one of three things went missing, or maybe all three of them went missing in your formative years.
Okay.
We need nurturing to grow the brain.
We need protection in order to flourish.
We need to feel safe.
And then as we get a little older, we need guidance.
As daughters, we look for all of these things from our mother.
We're already in love with her when we're born.
We know her smell.
We know her heartbeat.
Her body is our first home.
When we come into the world, we're expecting to stay close to her.
Our bodies are designed to be near hers.
That's nurturing.
