Gertrude Lyons on The Mother Code with Gail Scott | Special Episode

In this special episode of Owning Your Legacy, Dr. Gertrude Lyons, author of Rewrite the Mother Code, joins Gail Scott, Director of Administration at Edlong and one of the producers of the podcast, for a powerful conversation on motherhood, identity, vulnerability, and the cultural expectations women inherit.


Gertrude shares the personal journey behind writing Rewrite the Mother Code and how the process invited her into a deeper level of honesty, healing, and self-discovery. Together, she and Gail explore how motherhood has been shaped by history, why there is no single “right” way to mother, and what it means to rewrite the beliefs and roles that no longer serve us.


This conversation is a thoughtful reminder that women are more than the expectations placed on them — and that legacy begins when we choose what we are willing to question, heal, and redefine.


🎙 Topics discussed include:

🦋 Rewriting the Mother Code

🦋 Vulnerability and personal storytelling

🦋 Motherhood as a cultural construct

🦋 The pressure to parent perfectly

🦋 Women’s purpose beyond traditional roles

🦋 Healing inherited beliefs

🦋 Creating a more authentic legacy
