Why We Are Beginning Live
Before recording the complete Mother Wound Masterclass, Womb 2 Worthy is beginning with a live learning experience.
Participant feedback will help refine the clarity, pacing, cultural relevance, accessibility, and usefulness of the future recorded masterclass.
The future self-paced version is planned as six focused recorded lessons of approximately 10–15 minutes each.
Public testimonials are optional and require separate permission.
The methodology
The Self-Mothering Method™
The Self-Mothering Method™ is a healing-centered educational methodology that helps women rebuild self-trust through six lifelong movements practiced within culturally rooted community until those practices become identity.
The Mother Wound Masterclass primarily supports Recognize. It introduces the complete method without attempting to teach or complete all six movements during the live pilot.

Recognize
Understand your story with compassion.
- Movement 02
Regulate
Practice nervous system safety.
- Movement 03

Live as the woman you have been becoming all along.

Meet the Founder
The thread that became a method.
Ronnett Shadon
Founder · Womb 2 Worthy® · Creator of the Self-Mothering Method™
Womb 2 Worthy® emerged from nearly a decade of building spaces where people could express themselves, engage in courageous conversations, and heal through art, education, storytelling, and community—from Reachers Club, to Reachers United, to Womb Stories.
What was the thread connecting everything I had been creating?
The answer led me back to my own healing, my relationship with my mother, and my desire to create the kind of healing space I needed—and that women like my mother deserved. That became Womb 2 Worthy®, introduced publicly through my TED Talk in 2020, and has since evolved into The Self-Mothering Method™.
