33: Navigating Childhood Trauma, Self-Discovery, and Mother-Daughter Relationships with Alyse Bacine

  • Worried about messing up your kids? You help them most by working on yourself. When you heal, you show up differently—more present, open, and supportive. It all starts within.
  • Feeling afraid to be seen or share your gifts? The “witch wound” can trigger fear of judgment, but healing it lets your true self shine in the world. Owning your story is powerful.
  • Our relationship with our mothers often shapes how we see ourselves, set boundaries, and build self-worth. Exploring the “mother wound” can reveal powerful paths to healing and transformation.

Welcome to another transformative episode of the Spiritual Fertility podcast! This week, host Alison Bucklin sits down with the insightful Alyse Bacine—a breathwork facilitator, trauma healing expert, and creator of the Metamorphosis Method. Alison and Alyse dive deep into the mother wound, discussing how our earliest relationships shape our sense of self, our boundaries, and even how we show up with our own children. Alyse shares her personal journey from struggling with anxiety and an eating disorder to discovering the power of breathwork at nineteen, and how her decade-long career as a school counselor informed the healing work she does today.

Together, they unpack why doing our own inner work is the most powerful gift we can offer our children and future generations, and Alyse offers practical tools for recognizing and dissolving subconscious patterns inherited from our mothers and family lineages. They also touch on the impact of ancestral wounds, the importance of boundaries, and shed light on the collective “witch wound” that keeps many of us hiding from our authentic gifts.

Whether you're deep into your healing journey or just beginning to explore these transformational spaces, this conversation is full of wisdom, real-life stories, and actionable insights to help you reclaim your voice and reconnect with your highest self. Tune in to be inspired, supported, and reminded that your path to self-discovery not only changes you, but ripples out to everyone you love.

Profile picture for Alison Bucklin

Alison Bucklin

I am a highly intuitive and transformational teacher, coach, & healer who enthusiastically provides a supportive, fun and collaborative space to initiate and motivate change within others!

Using my emotional and spiritual intelligence, I empower multi-generations to maximize their potential.

What I have learned about myself through my life’s experiences is that I am led by faith, determination, and a commitment to bringing out the best within myself and others.

The most impactful of my life’s experiences is my journey to motherhood. After 4 1/2 years, 11 fertility attempts, 1 mis-carriage and a 7 week stay on bedrest in the hospital I became a mother to my beautiful miracle IVF baby, Evelyn.

Since birthing my daughter I have been led through a spiritual awakening which sparked a career change along with the discovery of myself and my connection to my inner guidance.

I have been led to create the Spiritual Fertility podcast to provide a fun and impactful place to share stories of inspiration because I believe that each of our life experiences shape us, providing lessons from which we can transform, expand, & evolve in this lifetime. When we are armed with the right tools to bring about self-awareness and shine a light upon some of our darkest experiences, we then begin to experience an awakening & re-birth; a re-invention of ourselves and the conscious awareness to take action and co-create the path ahead.

I am happy and grateful to be in this place.
