About Kim Loliya
Kim is a trauma psychotherapist dedicated to helping BIPOC communities heal intergenerational and ancestral trauma for holistic well-being. Kim’s work delves deep into the impact of the mother wound, especially on black and brown women, exploring how familial trauma and systemic oppression contribute to intergenerational and ancestral trauma.
This week we delve deep into healing the mother wound within black and brown communities. Kim unpacks the impact of intergenerational trauma on mental and physical health, offering insights on addressing unmet needs and breaking free from codependent dynamics. We discuss how ancestral trauma affects postpartum sex, libido, and relationships and explore the transformative power of recognising and healing the mother wound.
This episode is an opportunity for you to explore how familial trauma, cultural themes, and systemic oppression intersect to create the mother wound and how understanding the origins of these wounds can illuminate the path to healing, allowing us to break free from intergenerational cycles of pain and struggle.
By engaging with Kim’s wisdom and insights, we gain a deeper understanding of the impact of the mother wound on Black women specifically, and how addressing these wounds can lead to profound healing and transformation for, not just ourselves but for future generations.

“It’s such a difficult thing to mother from a very clear place without projecting all of our stuff, all of our pain, our intergenerational issues that we never resolved.”
