Rewriting the Mother Code with Dr. Gertrude Lyons: A Cosmic Approach to Motherhood
This week on Surviving Roots, I’m joined by Dr. Gertrude Lyons—master coach, podcast host, and author of Rewrite the Mother Code: From Sacrifice to Stardust. Her work is a deep call to reclaim the way we mother—not just our children, but ourselves. With features in The Guardian, Motherly, Thrive Global, Business Insider, and beyond, Dr. Lyons is leading a movement to challenge generational norms, uncover inherited beliefs, and help women rewrite the internal code we’ve been conditioned to live by.
We talk about:
-
The quieter symptoms of the mother wound.
-
How generational trauma shows up in motherhood.
-
Why “doing it all” doesn’t equal doing it right.
-
And how to reclaim joy, intuition, and enoughness in your own story.
This is a powerful conversation about honesty, boundaries, identity, and breaking free from outdated definitions of caregiving. Whether you're a mother, mothering something, or reparenting yourself—you’ll find a piece of yourself in this episode.
