This season is a lot for daughters... the pressure, the memories, the emotional muscle memory that shows up whether you celebrate the holidays or not.

I’ve been hearing from so many of you about what this time of year is stirring up, and I don’t want you carrying it alone.

I’m hosting a free Mayhem Holiday Gathering on Thursday, December 11th at 11am PST / 2pm EST. It’s a community circle where we’ll talk honestly about what this season brings up for daughters and move through it together. Expect reflection and gentle nervous system support, and a space where you’re seen without having to explain yourself.

This is a cameras-on gathering

Come cozy, messy, tired, hopeful....all of you is welcome.

If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing what you know to be true, replaying old conversations, or wondering if you’re the problem, I’m talking to you today.

We’re talking about how gaslighting fractures self-trust, how it wires your nervous system for doubt, and what it really takes to start believing yourself again after narcissistic abuse.

You’ll learn: Why daughters of narcissistic or emotionally limited mothers struggle to trust their own perception How gaslighting trains your brain to choose “safe” over “true” The difference between protecting yourself and abandoning yourself What it means to give your nervous system permission to believe you How to rebuild trust in your own body, memories, and intuition

Because healing self-doubt isn’t about confidence or positive thinking. It's about safety, self-permission, and practice.

If you’ve ever wondered, “How do I start trusting myself again?”, this episode will help you take the first real step.And if you’re tired of doing it alone, you don’t have to. Find us inside of MayhemDaughters.com to join our online community. I can’t wait to meet you.

Some days healing feels like progress. Other days, it feels like hell.

In this episode, Mayhem gets real about what recovery actually looks like for daughters of narcissistic and emotionally limited mothers: the moments that make you question whether any of this work is worth it, and the deeper truth underneath the exhaustion.

We’re digging into what it means to keep going when the pain doesn’t ever seem to disappear.

You’ll hear:

Why healing the mother wound can feel endless (and why that’s normal)

How competence becomes armor and what happens when it stops working

Why calm can feel unsafe and joy can feel like betrayal

How grief and growth can coexist without canceling each other out

What it actually means to be healing, even when it still hurts
This is your reminder that healing isn’t about doing it perfectly. It's about staying with yourself, especially on the days you want to quit.

When you’ve been the target of a narcissistic smear campaign, the urge to defend yourself can feel unbearable.

You want to explain, correct the record, and be believed. But here’s the truth: healing after narcissistic abuse isn’t about proving your innocence. it’s about reclaiming your peace.

In this episode of Mother Mayhem, we unpack what happens when daughters are scapegoated, misunderstood, or cut off after setting boundaries with a narcissistic or emotionally limited parent.

We talk about how to stay grounded in your truth without getting pulled back into the family system’s chaos You’ll learn:

Why smear campaigns happen and how they exploit fear, loyalty, and the need for belonging.

What to do when you’re misrepresented by a narcissistic mother, father, or sibling.

The difference between silence and suppression and how to know which serves your healing.

How to decide who has earned your vulnerability (and who hasn’t).

Ways to stay regulated when others spread lies or twist your story.

How to rebuild safety, self-trust, and peace after family estrangement or going no contact.

This is real talk for daughters who are ready to stop defending themselves and start living their truth

What happens when you’ve survived the chaos but still don’t feel safe inside your own skin?

In this episode of Mother Mayhem, we unpack what it really means to reclaim safety, power, and self-trust after trauma, especially after growing up with a narcissistic or emotionally limited mother.

You’ll learn:

*Why your nervous system still scans for danger even when life is calm.

*How to tell the difference between trauma brain and wise mind.

*What integration actually looks like: when your body starts to believe what your wise mind already knows.

*How boundaries protect your peace (and why pushback means they’re working).

*Practical steps for rebuilding self-trust when control used to equal safety.
This is a look at the messy middle of healing, that in-between stage where trauma isn’t running the show anymore but it’s still backstage waiting for its cue.

If you’ve ever wondered why peace feels uncomfortable, why your body doesn’t believe your progress, or how to feel safe in your own story again, this episode is for you.

Sometimes it isn’t about trauma brain or nervous system talk. Sometimes it’s just about life being messy and complicated and still leaving you asking, what the hell am I supposed to do with this?

In this episode, I answer two big questions from a daughter:

Trust after rupture: What do you do when someone you love, someone you thought was safe, lashes out, apologizes, and takes responsibility…but you’re still hurt and not sure where to put it? We talk about what it means when trust gets shaken in relationships, how to stop pretending everything’s “fine,” and why real healing comes from honest conversations, not band-aids.

Self-doubt at work: What happens when you’re offered a leadership opportunity you’ve always wanted but instead of celebrating, you’re stuck in fear of messing it up, losing respect, or not being “ready”? I share the real talk about stepping into leadership, owning your power, and saying yes to more without waiting to feel 100% confident first.

If you’ve ever struggled with rebuilding trust, navigating self-doubt, or stepping into leadership while carrying the wounds of being a daughter of a narcissistic or emotionally limited mother, we’ve got you covered today.

You’ll walk away with:

-Clarity on why ruptures in close relationships matter (and what to do about them).-Practical ways to rebuild trust without gaslighting yourself.-Real talk on how to step into leadership even when fear and insecurity show up.-Encouragement to stop waiting to feel “ready” and start saying yes to the life you want.

Because sometimes it’s not trauma. It’s just life. And you still deserve to know what to do next.

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.
