You may have never heard the term mother hunger, but you may know what it feels like.

It can show up as apologizing when you did nothing wrong, saying sorry to keep the peace, taking care of everyone else, choosing people who cannot fully show up, or feeling guilty for having needs.

In this episode, Tamsen sits down with therapist and bestselling author Kelly McDaniel to explore how the mother-daughter bond can shape the way we love, eat, grieve, and move through relationships.

Tamsen also shares her own experience of losing her mother at 20, becoming a caregiver while she was still a teenager, and realizing years later how that loss continued to shape her life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- What mother hunger is and how it can exist even when your mother was physically present.

- Why you may keep apologizing, overgiving, or choosing emotionally unavailable people.

- How grief, food, attachment, and relationship patterns can be connected.

- Why caring for an aging mother can bring up guilt, anger, and resentment.

- How to begin giving yourself the care, safety, and guidance you may have missed.

If you have ever wondered why you keep saying sorry, why you feel responsible for everyone, or why the same relationship patterns keep repeating, this conversation may help you understand what is underneath.
