In narcissistic family systems, loyalty is redefined. It means: don’t disrupt the narrative.

More than just a great podcast. Somehow Heather builds a rapport and a relationship with her listeners. The amount she gives to this community cannot be understated.
I used to really like this podcast, and I do think it is very valuable, but lately Heather has been really putting on a “voice” that feels disingenuous. Almost like she is trying to do some spoken word thing. And in the newest episode, as an example, the first 10 or so minutes were all just her reading compliments about herself. It’s unnecessary and really has been turning me off, which is unfortunate. Hoping she takes this feedback and is just more real moving forward.
I am blown away by the level of connection and perception and humor and tenderness this podcast has provided me. While I may not Relate to every story or feeling, this podcast has put words to so much of my lived experience as a mother, a daughter, a human. Thank you, thank you, mother mayhem!
relieved to finally find a podcast about this.
This spoke so many things that resonated deeply with me. I’ve read a lot on this topic, but found so much here that felt very accessible and well-articulated. This is a tremendous resource.
