The Good Homegirl

My Mother Was My First Bully


Listen Later

In this episode of The Good Homegirl, we dive into the complex and often unspoken reality of mother-daughter relationships. Growing up, our mothers are supposed to be our first protectors, but what happens when they’re also our first bullies? I open up about my personal experiences with a mother whose words and actions shaped my self-esteem in ways I’m still unpacking.

We explore the fine line between "tough love" and emotional harm, the lasting effects of childhood criticism, and the journey toward healing. Whether you’ve experienced this firsthand or know someone who has, this episode offers validation, insight, and the reminder that breaking cycles is possible.

Tune in as we discuss how to reclaim our self-worth, set boundaries, and rewrite the narrative for future generations.
