The "Good Daughter" Syndrome: Breaking Free and Healing Unhealthy Mother-Daughter Relationships - Katherine Fabrizio

Are you a "good daughter" caught in a lifelong struggle to win your mother's approval—only to find it never comes? In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Katherine Fabrizio, psychotherapist and bestselling author of The Good Daughter Syndrome, to explore the complex dynamics of mother-daughter relationships and the impact of generational trauma.

We discuss how empathetic daughters can become entangled in unhealthy patterns with difficult mothers—especially those with narcissistic or borderline tendencies. These daughters often struggle with guilt, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and an endless quest for validation. Katherine shares insights on how to break free from these cycles, set healthy boundaries, and learn the difference between helping and enabling.

Most importantly, we talk about how healing begins within—through self-care, self-trust, and reclaiming your own voice. If you’ve ever felt "not good enough" in your mother’s eyes, this episode is for you.
