84. The Good Daughter Syndrome with Katerine Fabrizio
In this episode, Katherine Fabrizio, psychotherapist and bestselling author of The Good Daughter Syndrome, dives deep into the complex dynamics between mothers and daughters. She explains how empathic daughters of emotionally immature, narcissistic, or borderline mothers often fall into patterns of people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and chronic guilt. Katherine breaks down the unconscious contracts daughters sign in childhood, the emotional toll of always trying to keep mom happy, and how these patterns affect careers, relationships, and self-worth. If you've ever struggled with setting boundaries, feeling responsible for your mother's emotions, or prioritizing your own needs, this episode is an essential listen.

Top Episode Quotes:
"Do I need for mom to be okay in order for me to be okay? If the answer is yes, you might be stuck in the Good Daughter Syndrome."
"When you’ve been conditioned to take care of your mother emotionally, it’s no surprise you struggle to recognize and prioritize your own needs."
"Grieving the mother you never had is an essential part of healing—without it, you stay stuck chasing an illusion."
"Boundaries aren’t about asking for permission. They’re about deciding what you will and won’t accept in your life, regardless of how others react."
"You have more power than you know. The moment you stop over-explaining and start setting limits, you shift the dynamic entirely."
