💔 Growing up with a narcissistic mother often leaves us asking one quiet, painful question:
“Who am I, really?”

When your needs were ignored, your feelings dismissed, or your personality shamed, it can fracture your sense of self. You might feel like you’re still searching for permission… just to be you.

But your identity was never truly lost.
It was buried.
And healing means uncovering it — gently, slowly, with compassion.

This post is for the daughters doing that brave, invisible work.

🌿 The narcissistic mother wound isn’t just about what happened in childhood — it’s about what we learned not to feel, not to need, and not to be.

We were taught to be “the good girl,” the caretaker, the mirror…
And we learned to silence the parts of us that felt too loud, too angry, too real.

Healing means unlearning all of that.
It means meeting the parts of ourselves that were never welcomed — and choosing to welcome them anyway. 💛

This post is for every daughter learning how to reclaim her voice, her boundaries, her true self.

"Who am I — really?"

For daughters of narcissistic mothers, identity often feels fragile, unclear, or entirely absent.

We were taught to be who our mothers needed — not who we truly are.

In my newest article, I explore the real core of the narcissistic wound — and how healing begins with slowly rebuilding the relationship we have with ourselves.

💛 If this resonates, I’ve created a free ebook to help you take the first steps in reclaiming your true self.
