Toxic Mothers and the Impact on Daughters

In this video we dive into the complex and often painful dynamic between toxic mothers and their daughters, and how those early experiences shape self-worth, boundaries, and adult relationships.

We'll explore the emotional inheritance that comes from being raised by a mother who was critical, controlling, or emotionally unavailable, and how to break those cycles without carrying lifelong guilt. Through real-world examples, you’ll learn how to separate your true self from the role you were forced to play and begin to build the safety you never had.

Topics include:

How toxic maternal behavior impacts identity and attachment

The “good daughter” role and its long-term emotional cost

Why guilt and shame are often mistaken for love

Practical tools for boundaries, reparenting, and inner-child healing

Reclaiming connection, confidence, and emotional freedom

Whether you grew up being the caretaker, the scapegoat, or the invisible one, this conversation will help you see your story through a new lens — one that leads toward healing, clarity, and self-compassion.
