This week, we’re putting the spotlight on "Little t Trauma". We’re talking about how seemingly minor comments from your mothers can accumulate over time, affecting your self-worth and impacting your emotional well-being.

Little t traumas, or "papercuts," are not insignificant. Healing begins with recognition, boundary-setting, and reaffirming your self-worth.

We’re diving into triangulation—when your mother pulls you into conflicts and pits you against your father, siblings, or even extended family. If you’ve ever felt like you were caught in the middle, unsure of who to trust or what’s real, listen in.

We’re talking about how narcissistic and emotionally limited mothers use triangulation to control and manipulate family dynamics, and more importantly, how you can start recognizing these toxic patterns and reclaim your truth.

In this episode, we cover:

• What triangulation is and how it shows up in family dynamics

• How to honor your truth and set healthy boundaries with your mother

• Practical examples of boundary-setting and self-validation

• Steps you can take today to start healing from these painful patterns

If this resonates with you, and you’re ready for more support, I’d love for you to join Tuesday Group, where Mayhem daughters come together to work through these exact challenges.
