This week, we dive into a painful and often unexpected aspect of dealing with a narcissistic mother: betrayal trauma. When your mom’s smear campaign turns family and friends against you, the emotional fallout can be overwhelming. It’s real and it’s another trauma. Listen in to learn how to reclaim your sense of self amidst the chaos.

If today’s topic resonates with you, remember that you don’t have to go through it alone. Join Tuesday Group, a supportive community where we navigate these challenges together. We meet every Tuesday at noon PST.

In the second part of this difficult and vulnerable conversation, we’re diving into two more of your most pressing parenting questions.

First, we’ll explore how to pull yourself out of a shame spiral when you’ve made your child feel bad. Then, we’ll tackle the challenge of managing your child’s big feelings when those emotions trigger you and make you want to shut down.

These are tough topics, but you don’t have to navigate them alone.

If today’s discussion resonates with you and you’re looking for a space to connect with other daughters facing similar challenges, I’d love to invite you to join Tuesday group.

It’s a welcoming drop-in group where we support each other through the ups and downs of recovery- including motherhood.

Here’s the link to join—we’d love to have you with us.

This week, with the vulnerability of one listener sharing her story and questions in her own voice, we’re tackling one of the most sensitive topics we can cover on the show—mothering when you are the daughter of an emotionally limited or narcissistic mother.

We’re talking about how the wounds from your own upbringing can impact your ability to nurture, set boundaries, and connect emotionally with your children.

This is generational curse-breaking stuff, ladies. You’ll gain insights and strategies to break the cycle and create healthy and loving environments for your kids.

And if you’re feeling the need for more support as you navigate these challenges, I invite you to join our Tuesday Group.

It’s a safe space where you can connect with other daughters, share your experiences, and find the support you need to continue healing.

JOIN HERE.

Join us as we begin this important two-part discussion.
