Today, we’re talking about the impact of growing up with a narcissistic or emotionally limited mother, particularly around the expectations that were set for you — expectations that often left you feeling like you were never enough or constantly falling short.
If you've been holding yourself to standards that don't belong to you, this episode will help you recognize and release those old beliefs. I’ll walk you through how to begin letting go of the pressure of living up to your mother’s expectations and the path to reclaiming your own voice and your own values.
Learn how to recognize when you are still operating under those old standards.
Begin to trust your own needs, desires, and choices — without the weight of "shoulds" or guilt.
Explore actionable steps to let go of perfectionism and reclaim your true self.
