This episode is for daughters who find themselves in a tender moment… the ones who feel like they’ve done so much healing and still hurt, the ones who set boundaries and are now sitting with the loneliness, the ones who expected to feel “further along” by now, and the ones who secretly wonder if they’re ever going to feel better.
Today, we talk honestly about what healing actually looks like for daughters of narcissistic and emotionally limited mothers. Spoiler: it’s not linear, it’s not glamorous, and it doesn’t come from insight alone. Healing happens through the body, through the nervous system, through the small, steady acts of staying with yourself instead of abandoning yourself.
I share the truths I’ve seen in you this year: your courage, your honesty, your protectiveness, your tenderness, and how these qualities point to a future that already belongs to you, even if you can’t fully feel it yet.
We also look ahead to the work we’ll be doing together this coming year, anchored in one central theme: becoming a better friend to yourself. Not a new you. Not a fixed you. A kinder, safer, more loyal relationship with the person you wake up as every day.
If you need grounding, reassurance, truth, or company on the path, we’ve got you.And if you want more Mayhem in your life through group or our online community, find us at MayhemDaughters.com
