868. In Honor of Katherine Woodward Thomas: Breaking Patterns + Becoming Your Future Self
Almost 30
Missing development and the 'missing mother'
Katherine defines missing development, emotional regulation, and the role of a 'good mother' in growth.
We are heartbroken to share that since recording this interview, Katherine Woodward Thomas has passed. In January, Krista had the gift of sitting down with Katherine for this conversation, and we feel deeply blessed to share her wisdom, presence, and legacy with this community.
The beloved bestselling author of Calling in 'The One' + a pioneer in conscious relationships, Katherine shares the deeply personal journey that led her to her life’s work—from overcoming an eating disorder to becoming a global thought leader in personal growth + transformation.
She introduces her powerful concept of the “source fracture story,” revealing how our earliest wounds shape our relationships, beliefs, and reality. But this conversation is not just about healing the past—it’s about consciously creating what comes next.
We also talk about:
- Why healing alone isn’t always enough—and what real transformation actually requires
- How to stop repeating unhealthy relationship patterns, including narcissist/empath dynamics
- The difference between victim consciousness + personal power
- Why your future self should guide your growth—not your past
- The truth about “missing development” + emotional maturity
- How to identify + rewrite your core belief systems
- The role of self-mothering + inner healing in personal transformation
- How identity shifts can change the way you experience love, purpose, and connection
