Puseletso Modimogale Presents: A Transformative book – Healing from the Mother Wound

“I want my readers to walk away feeling seen and deeply empowered…”

Healing from the Mother Wound is a transformative book that explores the deep emotional pain caused by the mother-child relationship and how it shapes self-worth, relationships, and personal growth.

The author of the book Puseletso Modimogale is a leadership and personal development specialist and executive coach. She has spent over 25 years helping individuals navigate personal transformation and emotional healing.

In an exclusive interview with showbiz scope, Puseletso Modimogale delves deeper into the conceptualization of the book.

“This book was born from a deeply personal place.” Said Puseletso

“As a life coach, healer, and daughter, I’ve
witnessed and experienced how unspoken pain between mothers and daughters quietly shapes
how we see ourselves, love others, and show up in the world. The concept came to life through my own healing journey – one that began with inner child work, forgiving my mother, and
choosing to break generational cycles.

But what truly inspired me was the collective pain I witnessed in women and men during my
coaching sessions. I realized how many of us are silently grieving the mother we never had, while carrying wounds, we don’t know how to name. This book is both a healing guide and a love letter to anyone ready to stop surviving—and start becoming.”

This book provides a healing roadmap for anyone struggling with feelings of rejection, emotional neglect, perfectionism, or self-doubt rooted in childhood experiences with their mother or mother figure.

At its heart, Healing from the Mother Wounds is the story of coming home to yourself. It’s about confronting the absence, neglect, emotional coldness, or even over-dependence that may have existed in our relationships with our mothers.

It shares not just Puseletso Modimogale’s story but the journeys of others – through grief, forgiveness, self-reclamation, and breaking inherited patterns. It is a story of moving from silence to voice, from pain to power, and from brokenness to beauty. It says: You are not what happened to you. You are what you choose to become.

Through a blend of personal storytelling, psychological insights, faith-based reflections, and practical exercises, the book helps readers:
✔ Understand the impact of the mother wound on mental health, self-esteem, and relationships.
✔ Identify and break generational cycles of emotional neglect and trauma.
✔ Develop self-compassion and emotional resilience through guided healing practices.
✔ Learn tools for forgiveness, acceptance, and boundary-setting to cultivate healthy relationships.
✔ Embrace a renewed sense of self-worth, joy, and empowerment beyond past wounds.

When asked what readers can benefit from the book, Puseletso Modimogale had this to say:

“I want my readers to walk away feeling seen and deeply empowered.” Said Modimogale

“My hope is that this book gives them language for their pain and permission to feel what they’ve been told to suppress and tools to begin or continue their healing. I want them to realize that forgiveness is freedom, that boundaries are love, and that healing is not selfish – it’s sacred.

Ultimately, I hope they reclaim their voice, reconnect with their inner child, and rewrite their
legacy – not just for themselves, but for generations to come.”

This book is not about blaming mothers but breaking free from inherited pain and creating a new legacy of healing. It is a must-read for both men and women who seek to reclaim their emotional freedom and step into a more empowered, authentic version of themselves.
