In this episode of The You Only Podcast, Low Jackson cracks open one of the most important books he’s ever read: The Emotionally Absent Mother by Jasmin Lee Cori. This isn’t a clinical breakdown or a textbook summary — it’s Low’s honest, unfiltered understanding of the book and how its ideas are helping him make sense of the wounds he carried since childhood.

Low walks through the core concepts of the book: what emotional neglect actually looks like, the subtle ways an absent mother shapes your sense of self, why so many adults still feel “unseen,” and how those patterns show up in relationships decades later. He breaks down the book’s healing steps and shares how he’s applying them in his own life — from recognizing unmet needs to learning how to feel safe, connected, and grounded for the first time.

This episode is for anyone who grew up feeling alone, misunderstood, or emotionally unsupported. Low isn’t claiming to be an expert — just a man doing the work, learning from the pages, and rebuilding himself piece by piece. If you’ve struggled with the silent ache of a mother who couldn’t show up for you, this conversation might be the one that finally helps everything click.
