Today, we’re talking about the hard lessons that come from abandoning ourselves to please others. I dig into what it means to be a "safe place" without losing yourself and how to love in healthy, full ways without neglecting your own needs.

If you’ve struggled with boundaries or feel drained by being everyone’s go-to, this episode is for you. Boundaries are key to having better relationships—with others and with yourself.

Listen, reflect, and maybe start asking yourself some of these same questions. If you need help working through it, join Tuesday Group. Here’s the link.

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.

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.
