In Episode 2, Angela Adkins sits down with author Jessica Errico for an emotional and eye-opening conversation about her memoir The Mother Gap. Jessica bravely shares her story of growing up with a mother marked by narcissism, emotional abuse, and alcoholism—and how that left her with a painful void only Jesus could fill.

Jessica speaks candidly about the dangers of harboring unforgiveness and how mother-daughter wounds can affect every area of life—friendships, marriage, parenting, and even future generations.
