Healing the Mother Wound | By Momma Lisa
A heartfelt reflection from Momma Lisa, co-founder of Breath By Design, on one of the deepest wounds many of us carry: the mother wound.
Through the lens of both a daughter and a mother, Momma Lisa explores how our earliest experiences of love, safety, nurturing, and belonging shape the way we move through relationships, boundaries, self-worth, and even our connection to ourselves. With honesty, compassion, and wisdom, she shares why healing the mother wound isn't about blame—it's about understanding, forgiveness, and breaking generational patterns.
Whether you are grieving the mother you lost, longing for the mother you needed, navigating a complicated relationship, or carrying guilt as a mother yourself, this reflection offers a gentle reminder that healing is possible. More importantly, it reminds us that we are not alone in our pain, our longing, or our journey back to ourselves.

9D Breathwork By Breath By Design, A Dallas Community Healing Experience at Gallery DeFi
A therapist-led by Dr. Rachel Sims, LPC, reflection on what started as breathwork became something much bigger than we ever expected.
At Breath by Design, our foundation will always be the breath, creating spaces for people to regulate their nervous system, process emotion, and reconnect with themselves in a safe and supported way. But over time, we began to notice something we could not ignore, the healing was not just happening during the journey, it was continuing in the connection after.
People stayed longer, opened up to strangers, and left feeling seen, understood, and lighter in ways that went beyond the breath itself.
That realization led us to expand everything.
