Hi there! I’m Vanessa Harris, host of the Motherhood Unmasked podcast.
As a pediatrician, I loved helping children heal and grow while giving their moms guidance and support.
After years of speaking with compassion, candor, and clarity, encouraging moms to own their important role in the lives of their children, I realized it wasn’t clicking for many moms.
Moms still struggling to survive their own childhood trauma on top of the regular demands of motherhood.
Struggling under that weight feeds the guilt and shame that keeps you from showing up as the mom your child needs. So, you wear a mask to hide from your pain and the judgment of others.
I know what that is like. So, I’m speaking directly to you, the mom battling the effects of your childhood trauma.
If you’re raising children while carrying unhealed childhood wounds from painful experiences like abuse, abandonment, and neglect.
And you struggle to care, be confident and connect with your child.
This podcast will inspire your own healing journey and empower you to break the negative cycles threatening your family.
Because no matter your childhood traumatic experiences, the hand that rocks the cradle, impacts generations.
And you have the power to decide what kind of impact.
You have a legacy to change. It’s difficult, but Motherhood Unmasked is here to support you.
Change starts with you believing that when it comes to you being the mother of your children; you are the woman for the job.
Lean in and listen to the Motherhood Unmasked podcast. I see you and I’m rooting for you.

How does a mom friend pouring into you every Friday, especially after a long week, sound?
What Moms are Saying…

“Did you ever sit in a church service or listen to a TED talk or open a book to begin reading and felt like every word was just for you? Like really, that person sharing is sitting next to you and reading your heart or mind? Some may assume I mean this in a condemning way, but no. When I feel that way, I feel SEEN.
I feel SEEN often when listening to Vanessa A. Harris on the #MotherhoodUnmasked podcast. It is like she picked up my journal and says, “Oh girl! I get it. No judgement.” If I started to list the episodes that bring tears of recognition and understanding, it would seem silly because there are so many.
If you are a Mama Bare at any stage of life, I encourage you to check it out and take a chance at feeling SEEN too.”

Listening to Motherhood Unmasked is like reading the Cliff’s Notes to the parenting book you never thought you needed. I’ve enjoyed the bite-sized content that is just potent enough to keep me focused until the next episode. Vanessa, you’re in your lane!

Vanessa, like many times before, your words just saved me as I begin to enter a new phase of parenting.

I listened for the first time yesterday, and wow! What you managed to pack into one episode was some soul nurturing, powerful stuff. Your insight on grief made me immediately want to share with so many.
