About This Podcast

When life gives you a toxic mother, what do you do? You listen, learn, and change your direction! I’m Phylis Mantelli, author of the book “UnMothered: Life With A Mom Who Couldn’t Love Me.” This podcast is a place for mentoring and encouragement as we navigate the complexities of toxic parent relationships. Join me as I share my journey and invite God-filled guests to discuss emotional healing, overcoming childhood trauma, and personal growth. Together, we'll explore new thoughts and patterns to transform our lives. Hear stories from women who have walked similar paths and gain wisdom and support on your journey. Let’s find our way to becoming who we are meant to be, no matter where we started. Tune in for stories of empowerment, mental health support, and lots of love as we heal and grow together.
