"Men often tell me that their dysfunctional relationship with their mother left them ill-equipped for adult relationships with women, and we spend months or years trying to undo the damage. With a combination of research, expert guidance, the author's personal experience, and the most practical, specific steps I've ever seen in a self-help book, Motherf*cked is now my go-to recommendation for anyone who's experienced this dynamic, as well as the therapists, coaches, and loved ones who walk with them." --Ryan Howes, PhD, ABPP, clinical psychologist "Imagine your bestie just happens to be a psychologist and she's sitting you down for one of those casual yet deeply soul-healing chats, the kind that leaves you feeling fully seen and so much lighter . This book breathes validation and hope into an integral yet often impossibly heavy topic, and I am a better woman and daughter for reading it." --Kelsey Wells, mental health-focused fitness trainer, women's empowerment advocate, motivational speaker, and creator of Redefine Fitness "Ashley Oerman blends soul, storytelling, and expert-backed straight talk to help you untangle from manipulation, guilt, and emotional chaos--and finally come home to yourself . With fierce compassion, humor, and hard-won wisdom, she shows you how to set boundaries without guilt, stop over-functioning to earn love, and live as the person you really are. Motherf*cked is equal parts healing and healthy rebellion--a guide for anyone ready to stop repeating old patterns and start choosing themselves." --Susie Moore, host of the top-rated Let It Be Easy podcast "The ultimate traveller's guide to navigating your relationship with your mom: vulnerable, thoughtful, practical, and hugely necessary.
