Bethany Webster is a writer, transformational coach, and international speaker. Webster earned her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Psychology from Rhode Island College. After leaving academia and working in medical communications, Webster decided to focus her work on her exploration of the Mother Wound, building on the insights she'd gained through research and the twenty years she'd spent uncovering and healing her own mother wound. She began blogging about the Mother Wound in 2013 on womboflight.com and quickly experienced worldwide demand for her work. Webster has presented her work on the Inner Mother at renowned retreat centers, as well as to audiences around the globe. Webster lives in western Massachusetts.
“Bethany Webster is a true cheerleader for women embarking on the
long, harrowing journey of birthing their authentic self. A helpful
guide for recovering Good Girls laboring to do the heroic work of
healing the Mother Wound.” — Jasmin Lee Cori, MS, LPC, author of
The Emotionally Absent Mother
“With soulfulness and grace, Bethany Webster encourages women to
break the intergenerational ties that bind daughters to patriarchal
mothers who could not and did not mother them positively, and who
may feel betrayed or become enraged as their daughter dares to
become her own self.” — Phyllis Chesler, author of Women and
Madness and A Politically Incorrect Feminist
“Webster has created a comprehensive mapping of the toxic
mother-daughter dynamic, its shaping of the daughter’s ‘script,’
and how the daughter may rescue her journey and outgrow the
limitations of her childhood experience by accessing her own ‘Inner
Mother.’ This book is most insightful and urgently needed.” — James
Hollis, Ph.D., Jungian analyst, and author of Living Between
Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times
"This book is essential for mothers who struggle to understand
their own pain and for daughters who need to finally break free of
the projections of their own wounded mothers. Bethany’s work has
helped my own inner child to feel more deeply understood." — Lisa
A. Romano, codependency recovery life coach
"This has to be one of the most impactful, sincere, and
enlightening books I have ever read." — Leslie Arreola-Hillenbrand,
founder, Latinx Parenting
"Disentangling ourselves from the traumas of patriarchy can
paradoxically involve separating from mothers who bequeathed to us
toxic resentments, frustrations and limitations, and dysfunctional
survival mechanisms. Bethany Webster explores with nuance and
sensitivity how we can free ourselves to become who we really are."
— Perdita Finn, co-author (with Clark Strand) of The Way of the
Rose
“Discovering the Inner Mother is a powerful contribution to women’s
leadership at a crucial historic moment.” — Ophira Edut, CEO and
founder, Astrostyle, and author of Body Outlaws
“Discovering the Inner Mother is smart, thoughtful and serves not
only as a map on how to unpack and disrupt cycles of dysfunction,
but it gives daughters a way to reframe the disappointments we’ve
watched our mothers haul around on their backs for years and in
turn, the gift of true compassion for us all. I loved Bethany
Webster’s book.” — Chely Wright, songwriter, musician, and author
of Like Me
“Webster candidly shares her own transformative journey and offers
questions for reflection and exercises to allow readers to better
come to terms with their past… Those with estranged or difficult
relationships with their mothers will find affirmation. ” —
