United States9 months ago - Perfect! Very much to the point! It covers some subtle areas that I could not find anywhere else!
I can never be grateful enough for the episode of enmeshment and Megan in your book particularly when you talk about non-golden enmeshed child who doesn’t go to the categories of golden child, scapegoat or invisible child. I was always puzzled about this confusing type of mother- daughter relationship which does not fit in any of the above-mentioned categories and you solved it for me!!!!!! I appreciate it a lot! I highly recommend reading your book “You are not the problem!”

I couldn’t recommend this podcast more. Katie is an incredible host. I heard her on another podcast and was so excited to find she had one herself. I wouldn’t be able to be breaking cycles if it weren’t for Katie and her insight and advice.
