What happens when you’ve spent a lifetime unseen, unchosen, and defined by someone else’s story?
In this episode of Mother Mayhem, a daughter asks: Who Am I, really?
Together, we explore:
Why daughters of narcissistic or emotionally limited mothers often feel dissociated or split from themselves
How dissociation shows up in daily life and gentle ways to come back into the present
Why listening and gathering resources without acting is a trauma response, not a failure
How to begin bridging head and heart after years of survival mode
What to do with rage and grief when confronting a mother won’t bring healing
How identity is reclaimed, not reinvented and why it’s never too late to begin
This episode offers both a clinical lens and a community one. It reminds daughters that healing happens in connection, not isolation.
If you’ve ever wondered who you are beyond the roles you were given, or how to carry rage and grief without being consumed by them, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
And if you’re looking to be a sponsor of the show or want to know more about connecting with other Mayhem daughters, you can find us at MayhemDaughters.com
