It's so freaking painful. 
So complicated. 
And so lonely, to have to even ✨consider✨ cutting off your own mother.

We're here to help it be a little less lonely ❤️‍🩹
We're your 4 new besties who are experts in healing this + ALSO walking through the fire of estrangement from our mothers ourselves. 
You NEVER have to worry about us saying things to you like, "But she's your mother" or "Family is everything."
Hearing us say things to you like:
“But you're her child. It's NOT okay for a mother to emotionally abuse a child like that.”

“My goodness you must’ve gone through so much.”

“That must’ve been so hard and painful.”

“We see you. You’re really brave. We're proud of the way you’re taking care of yourself.”

And, “It's not your fault. We know you tried so hard to make things work with your Mom."
We are 4 mental health clincians/Mother Wound experts sharing our insights AND our own experiences navigating Estrangement and healing The Mother Wound.
We're here to offer you hope. 
Community. 
Profound healing.
And revolutionary insights .
To help you feel SEEN.
To help you find HOPE during the moments where it feels like nobody understands what you're going through.

With her revolutionary insights, Maggie is a Thought Leader in low self-worth, shame resilience, parenting and reparenting. 

Maggie is a Therapist who now coaches clients worldwide on reparenting/inner child work, parenting, healing low self-worth and cultivating shame resilience, and recovering from perfectionism, people pleasing and self-hatred.  

Maggie is a Recovering Perfect Child who helps you to understand yourself on a profound and healing level so you can be the parent you needed to your inner child AND your actual child, if you are a parent.

Maggie is the Founder of Parenting With Perspectacles, a framework to support parents of toddlers to teens in finding their way through the hardest, most impossible moments of parenting by providing them with the tools to help both their child AND their inner child feel seen and loved.

Maggie is passionate about helping others release the shame of feeling not good enough, like a disappointment to others and needing to hustle for your worth. Maggie shares insights from her own 15+ year trauma healing journey, helping people in 67 countries to heal themselves and learn how to believe they deserve love without conditions. 

Maggie lives a messy, imperfect, wonderful life in Northeast Florida with her family - husband Matt, daughter (8), son (5) and beloved soulmate dogs, Hazel (golden retriever) and Everest (Siberian husky). She tries to see the beach with her eyes every day if possible, as the beach is a huge part of how she re-mothers + regulates herself.

Maggie filmed The Estrangement Project under her previous social media username  @parentingwithperspectacles. You can now find her on Instagram + Tiktok @maggiewithperspectacles.
Drawing upon her 20+ years as a licensed psychologist, nationally board-certified sport psychologist, and mom of twin adult daughters, Mother Daughter Relationship Personal Trainer Dr. Michelle Deering developed The Life Mirror Remedy®, a framework that breaks generational cycles of hurt and creates pathways towards healing. 

Her passion is to educate, encourage, and equip moms (who are first daughters) with psych-infused, research-based strategies and tools which help them make intentional connections that create meaningful communications with their daughters. A Brown University alum, Dr. Deering is also the best-selling author of What Mothers Never Tell Their Daughters and host of the hit podcast, Mother Daughter Connections™. 
 
Michelle teaches women how to pause to consider their body of behavior and understand their “cycles” of patterns with their mom so that they can make the mental and emotional shifts needed to relate better with themselves and connect more closely with their own daughters.

Dr. Deering lives in NC with her BFF hubby of 30+ years and enjoys wonderful relationships with her empowered adult twin daughters. While she gets replenished by her peace-filled daily runs and yoga exercises, she is a fan of all genres of music and loves rocking out on her classic Ludwig drum kit.
Michaila is a Self-worth + Motherwound mentor, and advocate for women who are on a journey of self-acceptance and honouring their fullest expression.

She is an ex-nurse and mother of two, who has spent almost a decade healing from a lack of identity that often consumes daughters with the reality of a prominent Motherwound.

Her research and work into understanding shame, generational trauma and vulnerability has further defined her mission to guide women to a new realisation that they were never the problem and help them discover where their mother ends - and they begin. 

Michaila teaches women how to shed the ‘good girl’ stories, catapult their emotional intelligence and live a life beyond expectations - turning their pain into their greatest gift.
 
Michaila and her husband, Ed are currently world-schooling their children (Niamh, 8 + Max, 4) whilst traveling full-time.

Estrangement Project RETREAT
La Fortuna + Tamarindo, Costa Rica
November 10-16, 2023
✨ 7   S P O T S   L E F T ✨
With curated Workshops led by Abbey AND Maggie (hopefully Michaila and Dr. Deering, too!) to help you deal with your Inner Critic AND Inner Child. How to heal your Mother Wound so you can come back HOME to yourself. And how to break these damn generational trauma cycles for your kids. 

On this 6-day Healing Love Bubble Retreat, we'll explore the majestic Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna Waterfall, followed by the beautiful white sand beaches of Tamarindo.
Who is The Estrangement Project for?
We made The Estrangement Project for adults who are navigating estrangement from their mother and healing The Mother Wound, whether you are contemplating going no contact with your mother or have been no contact for years. 

The focus of this project is on estrangement from mothers, although much of the content relates to estrangement from other family members.

We’re here to help you navigate the mind F of having to even consider cutting off your own mother and why she is unable to be the mother you need. To help you work through the fallout within your family and how to know when it’s time to set some strong boundaries to take care of yourself.

We help you understand The Mother Wound and Fear of Abandonment and how to heal. How to Reparent and Remother yourself so you can heal your inner child. How to forgive YOURSELF and release yourself from the pressure to forgive your mother if it feels hard/impossible/you’re not ready.

And if you’re a parent, we’re here to help you withhow to parent past the estrangement, how to navigate tricky/painful conversations with your children, and how to be the cycle breaker in your family!
I’m estranged from my father/sister/other family member, could I still benefit from this workshop?
While there are overlapping experiences throughout estrangement and you may find many of the videos beneficial, feel seen, and take away valuable tools, The Estrangement Project focuses on The Mother Wound. There are many nuances in healing The Mother Wound versus The Father Wound, but many of the videos would still help if you’re navigating estrangement from a father or sibling or other family members. 
What is the cost of the Estrangement Project Workshop?
$297 USD and we also have a payment plan where you pay over 3 months (3 monthly payments of $106 USD).
Is there a payment plan?
YES! You can pay over 3 months - make 1 payment today of $106 USD then 2 more monthly payments of $106 USD will be automatically debited, 30 days apart. 
How long do I have to work through the videos?
You can watch and rewatch them at your own pace, as many times as you need. Any time you need that virtual hug, reminder, or support! Estrangement and healing is a journey. We are so happy that you are giving yourself this gift of connection, support, community and empowerment!
How many videos are there and how long are they?
There are 15 videos that range between 20 minutes to 1 hour. We plan to add to the videos in the future and we will let you know when we drop the new videos so you can go + watch!
Are you doing an Estrangement Project Retreat?
YES! We are hosting a fabulous in-person Retreat in Costa Rica in November 2023.

With curated Workshops led by Abbey AND Maggie (hopefully Michaila and Dr. Deering, too!) to help you deal with your Inner Critic AND Inner Child. How to heal your Mother Wound so you can come back HOME to yourself. And how to break these damn generational trauma cycles for your kids. 

On this 6-day Healing Retreat, you'll explore the majestic Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna Waterfall, followed by the beautiful white sand beaches of Tamarindo.
